What I’m reading: The Racketeer by John Grisham What’s on the iPod: A View that Almost Kills by We Invented Paris I was talking with a writer friend last week about work. Things are going well for both of us at the moment, but we’re used to the tenuous nature of the job. What takes…
What’s on the iPod: Unbelievers by Vampire Weekend So far, a really productive week. I’m writing this Wednesday afternoon as we wait for our “first significant snowfall” of the season, as they call it on the Weather Channel. I’m staring out at snow, which has been the case since what feels like January, so I’m…
What I’m reading: Swimming with Crocodiles by Will Chaffey What’s on the iPod: I Saw a Stranger by John Gorka I’ve had a good start to the week — two new projects and a new client meeting scheduled for the conference. Today I’ll be working on the new assignments as well as on a current…

What’s on the iPod: Sleep Like a Baby Tonight by U2 What a week. I started by spending what I thought would be ten minutes looking for a hotel room for the upcoming conference at the end of April. That turned into two days of hunting. No luck. I can get a hotel close to…
What I’m reading: The Woman of Andros by Thornton Wilder What’s on the iPod: Numb by The Airborne Toxic Event So last week we took a look at how to create Styles in Word. This week, we’re going to do something with them. If you think you’ll have a need to create a table of…
What’s on the iPod: Misfits and Lovers by The Wallflowers It’s Thursday already? What happened to my week? I took Monday off for the holiday that everyone else had. Tuesday was a snow day for my daughter and when she’s home, I tend to play hooky with her (bad habit, in fact). Yesterday I spent…
What’s on the iPod: Woodpile by Frightened Rabbit A sad day here in our house — our goldfish died. Why such a fuss over a fish? Because he was 14 years old. Yes, they live that long and no, by that age they’re no longer “gold” but more whitish. He hadn’t been “perky” for a…
