Did anyone hear rumor about some big to-do over in Great Britain? It can’t be hockey, so I don’t know… The press coverage over this was a bit over-the-top, but at least it detracted from the birth-certificate fiasco. I loved the headline in the London newspaper yesterday: The Day America Took Leave of Its Senses….
What Smells?
What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Better Together by Jack Johnson I’ve always known I work better when my back is to a wall, but I’m surprising even myself this week.

Safe Versus Good
What’s on the iPod: Lola by The Kinks I’m glad I’m able to get a ton of stuff done in the mornings lately because my afternoon yesterday dissolved quickly. I was good until about two – then the plumber arrived. We had a small leak and a minor fiasco surrounding our water heater, its replacement,…
It’s All in the Perspective
What’s on the iPod: Ten Thousand Things by The Avett Brothers Yesterday was one of those productive days that makes me glad to be a freelancer.

Saying Goodbye
