What I’m reading: Sweet Thursday by John SteinbeckWhat’s on the iPod: Moving Clocks Run Slow by We Were Promised Jetpacks Interesting day yesterday – Mondays usually are. I had troubles getting going, but I managed most of my to-do list. Weird when that happens. I felt a little guilty for not working harder, but what…

Giving Your Audience Substance
What I’m reading: One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding by Robert GoverWhat’s on the iPod: Dust Bowl by Mumford and Sons Oooo, big news coming on the blog here in about 10 minutes. If you’re here before 7:10, stick around. You may not want to miss it. I’m eyeing the weather report closely. Normally, rain, snow, whatever……
Your Face Value
What’s on the iPod: F*ck You by Cee Lo Green Don’t you love getting books? I’m not your Kindle type, so don’t come singing the praises of yet another computer screen to me, but I appreciate that you buy books in any form. I prefer paper. But my son and his girlfriend sent a package…
Building the Online Presence
What’s on the iPod: Soul & Skin by The Clarks Yesterday was fun. Yes, fun. I had a little work to clear up (and I swear I’ll clear it up soon), and then I got on the phone with Lisa Gates, coach extraordinaire and west coast soul mate, to chat each other up and hash…
Turning Over Rocks
What’s on the iPod: Alleluia by Rufus Wainwright Finally over that cold that grabbed hold of me last week. It was a strangely short-lived one – three days and vanished. There are remnants of it, but not the usual symptoms of stuffiness, sore throat, aching, etc. I was feeling better by Wednesday. I like that…
Mixing Up the Marketing
What’s on the iPod: Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd Happy Veteran’s Day to all who have served. We appreciate you. At the moment, I am what you’d call “between projects.” I’d panic, but I have some things coming up that will keep me busy through the rest of the month. Plus one of my regular clients,…
Let’s Be Consistent
What’s on the iPod: Sweet Sophia by Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers Many thanks to my camera company, Fuji, which responded quickly to my call asking for help. I’d sent the camera in for repair and had received mixed messages on when I’d get it back. I explained calmly but with a little “oh dear”…

Slow Going
Who’d have thought a minor surgery would have me reeling days later? Seriously, yesterday I had what I thought was a setback. I was absolutely drained of all energy. I was weak. I was aching in a way that you’d ache if you had a cold or flu. No fever (very slightly above normal). I…
Filling Up the Summer
What’s on the iPod: She’s Mine by Brett Dennen Was it really too hot to move this weekend? Not much of a break when your plans to enjoy the outdoors run into a wall of heat and humidity. I managed a cup of iced chai at Starbucks and a flea market/farmers market with my daughter….
