I’m not here, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have oodles of fun hashing over our monthly goals and near misses, right? So let’s get busy seeing where things are going right or wrong: Queries –I must have sent out fifty LOIs. I have 25 written down, but somehow I think I forgot to note…
Nice Day for a White Wedding…
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.

The Finish Line
What’s on the iPod: Summertime by Kenny Chesney Got a great deal done yesterday despite a slightly interrupted day. I managed an interview, a resume, an article (800 words), and an oil change (paid for it this time – drat!). I wanted to do more, but I needed to pack. I’m going back home for…
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
What I’m reading: Inishfallen Fare Thee Well by Sean O’CaseyWhat’s on the iPod: Small Town by John Mellencamp Sometimes, you can just rock a Monday. Yesterday was one of those days I had a list longer than Route 95 and only nine hours to work with. I managed nearly all of my list, with some…
