Can I stay in my jammies all day? It’s rainy and yucky outside and supposed to get really cold later. I need a day of rest. Shouldn’t it be today? Okay, good. I might actually drag myself off the couch and shower and dress, maybe around noon. I do usually make one day on the…

I look like Whoopi Goldberg apparently. Funny thing is, so does Geeky Boy. I succumbed to the MyHeritage.com thing going around. Geeky Girl got the best results–Julia Roberts, Juliette Binoche and the like. I also look like David Ben-Gurion. Apparently, I’m black and Jewish. Who knew?

That’s what it looks like outside. It’s foggy and all you can really see are the bare twisted branches of the trees. I guess it’s more gothic than horror. I expect dracula to wander out of the fog any moment. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the…

I was so tired, I went to bed at 9, before my son. I woke up feeling like I could sleep a little more. At least it’s Friday. I’m going to put up a version of my talk today, plus my colleague and I will be podcasting and doing an overview of the conference. I…

Stayed out really late and ate a ton of good food. Plus, no matter how luxurious the hotel, I never sleep well in a strange bed. I went for a walk around the inner harbor today. It really is beautiful. Wish I’d had pictures. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen…

Gah! Last night, I tried and tried to get an internet connection and couldn’t. Drove me nuts. So I watched Love, Actually instead. Not a bad movie really. I especially liked the story line with Liam Neeson. Anyway, my presentation was fabulous, if I do say so myself. I actually really enjoy speaking in front…

From 1B*, it’s national delurking week. I promise to play if you will. Leave me a comment. Peruse the posts, leave someone else a comment. Tell me what you had for breakfast, what your favorite cartoon or comic strip is, goofiest thing you’ve ever done or why the heck you read this blog and what…

Got a ticket for my destination. The delurking is so fun. I’m finding new blogs to read. Also, it turns out to be okay to eat hot fudge straight. Good thing to know. I’m sitting here in 30th Street Station, a place I really like. Just had some Dunkin Donuts–maybe feeling nostalgic for my old…

My favorite Sunday pastime is to watch the political talk shows–“This Week” and “Chris Matthews” and whatever else I can catch. I often find myself yelling at the screen, but it’s like a sport for me. On “This Week” Cokie Roberts, in talking about the Jack Abramoff scandal said that she felt that politicians had…

I have 14% left. Can I post before the battery dies? (Didn’t make it.) I’ve been purusing the blogs today and I’ve been saying to myself for a while now, I should really post something about my favorite sites. So here goes. Lifehacker–a great site with all kinds of tips and tricks, both technical and…
