What’s on the iPod: Rocking by Roger Whitacker Today’s my first day typing with the fingerless gloves this year. Not that I haven’t needed them all this month – it’s been in the 20s during the day. But today is the first my hands are feeling it. So back to getting used to typing with…

Bread Crumbs
What’s on the iPod: Sea of No Cares by Great Big Sea Super day yesterday. I accomplished much more than I thought I would, and I still had time left over at the end of the day to relax. That’s almost unheard of – time to relax in December. I had my shopping done five…

The Domino’s Guide to a Tasty Career
What’s on the iPod: Ten Thousand Things by The Avett Brothers Busy day yesterday. Interviews in the morning and book work in the afternoon. I put up the “Away” message on my email and avoided.
