Artsy-artsy
I’ve always wanted to go to an exclusive art gallery opening. First, I wanted to know what that experience would be like. Second, I’ve always wanted the opportunity to have a private tour by a museum conservator. So it was my very good fortune that my company is the presenting sponsor for the gorgeous Kimbell […]
What Possessed You?
We are so far behind in our Netflix queue that I no longer remember why certain movies were added to the queue. This explains why The Boy and I sat through a terribly depressing film the other evening. When the final credits rolled, The Boy said: That was an awful film. I can’t believe we […]
Fall=Pumpkin
It may be warm in North Texas, but I hearby declare that It Is Fall. To emphasize my declaration, I have: Drunk a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks Purchased pumpkin pecan instant oatmeal, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin butter. Bring it. Source
Success Measures
6:53 and we're on the train downtown. It's strange how success can be defined sometimes. Normally we're doing well to get on the 7:08, sometimes the 7:11. Yet here we sit silently cheering being on the train 15 minutes earlier than normal. An earlier train means earlier to work, but it doesn't translate to earlier […]

The classic warning sign of impending doom was my untidy desk at work. Files strewn everywhere on my desktop – there […]
It’s All Mixed Up
Another interesting aspect of change is that it can bring some pretty unexpected things – things that you otherwise would take for granted. For example, for nearly 14 years I worked every day on a Mac. I loved it. The Mac suits my way of thinking and is designed for the creative work that I […]
When Everything Went Wrong Except for What Really Mattered
I remember back in the day when I loved to fly. Plane travel was exciting. Now plane travel feels like a beating and I’m often a candidate for “Most Likely to be Taken Off the Plane” because of frustration. This was especially true when flying American Airlines last week. You might say that only an […]
41 – 67
From the keeping it real files: In the world of airbrushed and Photoshopped, living in the land of make-up and blow-outs, this is what 41 years and 67 days looks like after: living in Europe and Africa living and working in six states changing jobs after 14 years with a company supporting your spouse’s job change […]
