I've started my new job. I think it is good.

I've had several friends leave Chicago in the past few months. Catherine moved to California in August. Allan and Megan are moving to Seattle and we said farewell to them last night. And Arielle had her last day at work a week ago, and will be leaving Chicago to go to law school. Plus all the people who are getting laid off from work, people I have ( Read more... )

Wow, the summer is flying by. It feels like I just updated my blog, but that was more than a month ago. The summer lull at work continues, but I will have a new boss and new direction soon, so I continue to ride it out ( Read more... )

I'm at the AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals) in Baltimore at the moment, and it is has been a very positive experience so far.

Hurley is lucky

Um, subtitles, please
Nothing is irreversible
Sayid vs. Locke!!

My brain went mushy
The more Lockes the merrier!
Welcome aboard, fools.

Thank you

He went from looking a little under the weather this morning to yeowling in extreme pain when Jon took him to the animal ER at 6:45 this evening. He had respiratory distress, serious pain in his pancreas area, his heart was kind of out of place, and there was a weird mass ( Read more... )

* For what felt like most of the night last night, I dreamed about post apolocyptic crazy scary survival. Lots of hiding in empty buildings and killing people and guns and trying to be very very quiet. And that morphed into being in prison with some of my co-workers. and I think there was also a separate dream about renovating my kitchen. pretty ( Read more... )
