..is in Dallas! Sqwee!!!! So close yet so far away. Just maybe it will be delivered early. Wishing,hoping, praying. Hey isn’t that a song?

iPad is now in Anchorage!  Yeah.
Didn’t get much accomplished yesterday either at work or at home. My laptop has some problems with VPN so I spent the better part of last night trying to fix the problem. I surfed the web for advice. Tried a few things and nothing worked. Oh well. At least it [...]

Yesterday I had a late lunch with some co-workers. One of them came in from NYC. She was in town for a business engagement but sent me a text asking if I wanted to meet up with her for some chow. We’ve worked together for a couple of years but all of our communication has [...]

The weather this weekend has been strange. A cool breeze from the north dances with the sultry winds of the south. Together they mix over Texas and a steady stream of humidity and dryness travel the sky, dropping pollen and sprinkling dust everywhere. My eyes itch. The dogs roll in the grass. Sneezes and sniffles [...]

Birthday celebrations are over, mom seems to have stabilized-she’s in a rehab center to help get her strength back, and there’s still a pile of work on my desk that’s getting handled very slowly. [...]

I can’t believe the days have passed so fast. One moment it was Wed, the day before a nice 4 day long weekend and now it’s Sunday? Where does the time go?
So I’m still waking up as I write this. It’s cloudy, gray and dark. Eight o’clock in the morning looks like eight in the [...]

Hello! Yes I’m here. It’s me and I’m really blogging. I know I don’t blog as much as I used to but you see I’ve been a little preoccupied lately with two new doggies, work, and de-cluttering. Sherlock and Libby have become the best of buds. They play tag and tug-of-war. They wrestle on occasion [...]

I know I haven’t blogged much lately but I’m having a difficult time balancing work and social life. It’s an ongoing struggle and sometimes I fail miserably. But now that I’m on vacation I have some time to think about my strategy moving forward.  First is acceptance. I accept that the workload isn’t going to [...]
