What's in a comet?

My sister sent me this picture of McNaught's comet taken over Cape Town earlier this month. I'm not easilly impressed by astological things, but this photo just blew me away. Perhaps I'm a little home-sick and the image of Table Mountain and Lion's Head was really what got to me.
Anyway, 2007 is off to a decent start. We seem to be getting close to some VC funding for the latest product. That buys me some more time in this place to figure out what I really want to do. One thing I am doing for the first time ever this week is buying Lotto tickets. It's not that I feel particularly lucky, but given the life we would really like to live here in California, winning a million-or-so would really help.
Things are going very well with my son (now 4-and-a-half months old) and he is an absolute joy! He started day care last week, which is a big step for our little family. Fortunately he seems to be doing really well there.
Enough of the rambling... the comet is really what inspired me to make this quick posting. More later!
