I'm baaaaaaaaack! More to come. I have some renovations to do in here first. Laying the foundation for the next year at least. Life is quite the adventure.
When TV collides with life: Trump, House of Cards, FBI & CSI Cyber
Quick note to start - yes, I am still training and fundraising. In fact, it would be fabulous if you would throw in $30 to the cause. I pretty much need $30/day for the rest of the time to meet the minimum. Also, things are starting to hurt a little. I'll save that for another... Continue Reading →
Where I’ve Been
I feel like I should be putting up a "Hello World" post as I have been away from this space for so long. I'm writing in here now to summarize a week that has been rather mind blowing which is also a culmination of the past 18 months or so which required my full attention... Continue Reading →
Where you can find me
After a lot of years juggling many different things that I both wanted, and needed to do in addition to my day job, now that the high school years are over, I am taking a break. While a few other opportunities to fill the time that was released when my volunteering & sport shuttling/school nagging... Continue Reading →

A weekend in pictures
Friday night: after a week that was not necessarily as frazzling as last week, but included the extra special ingredient that was a Mon-Fri off and on (mostly on) hormonal series of head/shoulder/neck/sinus aches so...yeah...it sort of didn't matter that I only had one football meeting to go to (which was actually quite good and...

How to make chore day fun! (Cats help.)

Mine looked like this 6 of out 7 days a week (I took Sundays off): Lease Other regular work task Lease Other regular work task Lease Household chore etc etc etc It... Continue Reading →
Riding in the sunset for a while
Photo by @KCAlfredphoto Torrey Pines golf course at sunset. I thought this photo was perfect - I was going to look for something that depicted "swamped" or "rat race" but really, in keeping with my NO Whining & NO Gasbags motto for 2013, I must say that while I will need to maintain a...
