Work - auditors are still here so that hangs in the air and occasionally means requests for documents, but they have otherwise been strangely quiet. With year end essentially completed I enter my "slow" time. I do have a large project looming over me, but it is truly so overwhelming and data intensive that I... Continue Reading →
So many emotions
Started out today with a long walk in the hot sun. The sun was up right away so my morning walk which yesterday was cool and foggy was more of a struggle. I rewarded myself with a frapuccino at the end, but then decided that I did NOT want to sit in the hot sun... Continue Reading →
Where did all these thoughts come from?
My brain is seriously on some sort of overdrive right now. I feel as if I could type essays in here all day, but of course time does not permit that.

Community. Family. Those words to me were the central theme of this gathering. Yes, it was politically motivated. Yes,... Continue Reading →

Need to get this rant out of my head.

Politics Part 2 – Choice
