congrats on big check and other stuff…

Re your husband… kidney stones are no fun… my son went through that and the second time they hit went for the surgery,which worked.

Oh, and back to church… interesting… I recently rejoined a Buddhist Center I had left awhile back… sure feels good.

I had a relaxing weekend for the most part, which is good because this week is going to be very busy. I have articles to write, parties to attend, a doc appointment and dinner with a family friend who is coming from out of town. Mostly fun stuff, just more hectic than I'd like all in one week!

Sorry to hear about your hubby's troubles. I hope he feels better very soon!

I'll remember the citric acid tip in case anyone I know develops kidney stones!

I just scanned some clips requested by an editor who replied to a recent LOI. Next I need to write a couple more executive bios, get some invoices in order and start a new article. Then I'll write a column.

Oh - I also need to choose siding and trim colors. Only problem? I don't love any of them. The greens are too gray, and everything else is a variant on gray, tan or off-white. What happened to color?

Sorry to hear about your husband, Lori (BTW-did NOT know citric acid would break it up!). Hope he feels better soon.

Cathy, I hope your eye gets better; be patient as it heals (I know, easier said than done).

Sounds like a lovely weekend, Lori (except for hubby's health issue-not fun).

I'm loving the fall weather and the changing of the leaves. I took pictures of the trees on one of my walks this weekend so look for them at the personal blog.

My vision remains the same-blurry in right eye. I am trying not to obsess over it and let healing take its course.

Hope you all have a good, productive week.

Congrats on all the good stuff, and hope your husband feels better soon.

Roller coaster weekend, but great stuff inspired by the Coursera work I'm doing -- it's going to pay off in all kinds of ways all down the line.

Disappointed by the students, though. The lack of commitment and ability to meet deadlines is unacceptable.
