Where it all began 13 years ago when I changed my only Audio path of almost 20 years to Audio + Film. Then onto Audio + Video Games + Animation and of course + Mobile Apps. Always add on to your skillset. You'll never know where it may lead.

Happy Friday everyone! Haven't played this game for so many years I forgot how it felt like to win. So to start my Friday like this is a good sign. Still will need A LOT MORE PRACTICE (with bots) before I start that mental climb again but it feels good.
