In no particular order other than what pops into my head as I ponder this topic from events of the past month or so: Change is a constant - remember that new office we moved into in late summer? Well, I received notice on a Monday afternoon that we had to vacate it starting Thursday.... Continue Reading →
Change is good!
I have missed writing so much! In any form, be it here in journal format, the assigned writing I did for the MOOC course I took in the Spring, or the more structured blog posts submitted on Blogmutt. Heck, I don’t even get to tweet in those little 140 character bursts of thought hardly at... Continue Reading →
Video Interview from San Jose
Last week, just a few minutes after I arrived in San Jose for Netroots Nation, I ran into a young man who describes himself on his business cards as an "Apprentice Troublemaker". I think that is a very accurate description 🙂 I also think I was some pretty darn good company to have been interviewed... Continue Reading →
A scene from the morning commute
It was one of those longer stoplights, and the car to my right provided a little snapshot of life with a small child. A standard issue four door sedan that was, for once, not the usual black or gray but a rather pretty shade of cobalt blue. In the backseat, perched directly in the center... 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...

A football meeting directly after work on Monday followed by more work I had to complete from home that wasn't done... Continue Reading →
Unexpected connections, sunglasses and – chi?
I knew Thursday would be packed. Another department manager had resigned, and a replacement wouldn’t arrive until next week. That meant existing folks jumping in to fill the gap. For the month end close, my day helping out would fall heaviest that day. I was prepared because I had cleared out my own tasks faster... Continue Reading →
Happify really *does* happify your daily life
A few weeks ago I shared that, on a whim, I had responded to an email invite and joined this new site called Happify. Yes, there was some skepticism and I wasn't sure how long I would stick with it. But I have honestly found that it has ever so gently changed a few things... Continue Reading →
You really can’t roll out of bed and run 3 hours
The only picture I took today during the run on the San Dieguito River trail. The depth perception is off, but the lighter rock up top is from a separate peak more in the distance. The sky really was that blue! I love the rock formations on this trail (same one as last week) - we... Continue Reading →
