I turned down a job yesterday. The 2nd time I've really done it. There's still the fear of whether or not I made the right choice, but deep down I think I have.

The project is a great one: A feature documentary sponsored by a well-known politcal action group and washington think tank about media consolidation and the influence it wields with the mind of the country. Right up my alley. But the schedule would have been 6 days a week for at least 12 hours until July. That would be perfect a few years ago, but I don't want to say goodbye to my family for 3 months just yet. Also, I have family flying in the middle of April. Wouldn't it be great to say "Hey, glad you spend $600 to come visit, here's the remote!". I didn't think so either. So I said no, passed it on to some great people and will now let life throw the next one.
