What’s on the iPod: Changing by The Airborne Toxic Event Wow, another month bites the dust, eh? This one flew by for me. I had a week off at the beginning, thanks to the Vancouver conference and vacation. I expected a lower total as a result. Good thing – it was low. Maybe part of…

Why It’s Okay to Be Alone All Day
What’s on the iPod: You Were Never There by Diego Garcia HOT day at the ball park! Not sure how hot, but when we got home our thermometer (the one in the shade) registered 87 degrees. But there was a nice breeze and I had a new Phillies hat, so we toughed it out. The…
It’s Not Really That Bad

The Follow Through
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck I’m slowly getting back into my routine post-Vancouver and post-Mom. Yesterday was a good work day.

Stuff I’ve Learned
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Nothing. The car’s in the shop and the iPod is in the car. Why does it seem like I’m running through my days lately? Maybe because I am. I spent yesterday trying to get to phone interviews and doing everything else. But everything else…
