I had a dream last night that I was at Disneyland with a bunch of my friends from New York City. We were arguing over which rides to go on. I remember Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean were deemed "not scary enough." My reply was "we'r...

Counting down

Tomorrow is my last day of work at ASME. It's hard for me to believe I'm really leaving. Yes, I am in denial. Despite the fact that I have shipped 33 boxes to the left coast, I don't think my brain will wrap itself around the move until I fly to C...

My Next Chapter

2008-12-12T17:23:08Z

I've been thinking and talking about it for a while -- leaving New York -- but in an abstract "someday maybe" way. Well, now it's here. I'm officially leaving New York City, *sigh*. After six years it's a bitter-sweet farewell. However, opportun...

All I want to do is read an article on salon.com, but for some reason MyYahoo keeps getting in the way. When I try to click on a link, or enter salon.com in the address bar, the page loads in this MyYahoo thing. Even when I see the article listed...

Not much to say this morning, but I said I would write daily so here I am. I am in shock that it is already 12/20! Where does the time go? We have our "Holiday Gathering" at work today. It is basically snacks in the boardroom with a raffle. We d...
