Scattered

I know there was a speech yesterday. If you’ve only heard the sound bytes, you should read it or watch it for yourself. I thought it was honest and intelligent and awesome, but I don’t want to write about it just yet. All my words on this subject are so scattered the only way I [...]

Beginning again

I thought if I didn’t point it out, nobody would call me on my 101-in-1001 ending this past November. I got through forty-something items, which means I probably could have done better. Interestingly, one of the things I figured would never happen — #29, Get published — I did actually manage to do, and one [...]

Sometimes you just have to DO something

I think it’s safe to say that everyone knows somebody who’s been affected by breast cancer. Either they’ve had it, or they’ve loved someone who’s had it, or they know someone who loved someone who had it. I certainly do.
I wanted to do the Race for the Cure this year, but I have an unavoidable [...]

I can’t Americanize all the language; it [...]

And now we bring you this work in progress

Last week, I read on Jessica’s blog about 101 in 1001. I thought it was a great idea, and I’m on board to do it myself. I am still finalizing my list of 101 tasks, but you can find the beginnings here. Check back regularly for updates!

It’s incredible!

Bob (aka Mr. Incredible) isn’t bad either, even if he is a little dim.

You can groan if you like. I’ll wait.
If you haven’t gone to see The Incredibles yet, please go do so now. Yes, now. Work can wait for this fun, hilarious, and intelligent movie. It’s not just for kids!
I think Jack-Jack is my [...]

I have confidence in confidence

This latest update has been a long time coming; I keep rewriting what I have, each time coming up with nothing of quality, and finally postponing the update until the next day. Enough with the procrastinating already, right?

It’s really hard to find a Sound of Music screenshot other than the famous one of Julie Andrews [...]
