where I talk with my inside voice
I’ve been trying to keep up with my New Year’s resolution this year to spend more time writing. That included a commitment to update this blog once a week. I’ve done pretty well so far – I’ve only missed a couple of weeks. But I think I have a good excuse: On June 1 I finished the first draft of...
There are a number of reasons that I chose to cleave my blog in two. I won’t go into all of the gory details, but if you are reading this it’s because you went to my old domain, and didn’t find what you had come to expect (since 1996), and contacted me to ask why. Welcome to my new home...

When I accepted this challenge, I wouldn’t have guessed that one day would be harder than the rest, but Fridays have turned out to be more difficult to find something to write about than the remaining days of the week. So yeah, I’m cheating. It’s actually Saturday and I’m pre-dating this entry. And it’s not...
When I graduated college and started working full time, it was a bit of a shock initially. You never realize how much free time you have until it is gone. I thought I was busy in college.
