J. S. Gilbert posted this question several months ago. We had so many interesting responses that I want to open it again.

What have you been up to?

Cut down 5 maples to their roots to make way for a terrace in siberian larch - all done singlehandedly in 6 days!

I'm about to release my 15th (and probably final) Obama Watch. Three of them are in the Smithsonian and I gave 5 of them to Barack Obama.

I began the social media engagement for http://www.autism151.com. I also got the ball rolling fast on my startup. I may be saying goodbye to marketing for other people soon!

The most interesting thing I have done lately, is I got to meet Sir Hegarty, Dan Weiden and Jean Marie Dru the same day and attend their seminars at Goa Fest the annual ADfest in India.

Me? I've been working on a webinar for MarketingProfs.com. The process is new to me, and interesting from a creative as well as a technical / production POV.

I quit drinking. This is relatively difficult when you are in advertising.

Did it 3 years ago. It can be done. Forge on. :)

Silver,
It such a small world. I quit advertising to take up drinking. It's not as easy as it looks. Two days later I was back in the ad game. Who knew?

I just made money...by saving money (from vanishing).

I just kept $35,000,000 worth of billing from walking out of the door because the client were pissed and was willing to let a little thing get in the way of a big thing. If I told you how I solved the problem I'd have to kill you, so even don't ask. But it was so simple, so very very simple. No one noticed it...but me.

Goddamn I'm good! I even impress myself sometimes. Oh well, hero today. Tomorrow, it's just water under the bridge. (However, a six figure bonus from this play will ease my transitional pain.) DIG?

Jack, people like me cause I'm Friendly. Humble, not so much. And you, how are you, pal?
