I’m driving to work this morning with Geeky Boy in tow. He’s feeling better though still running a fever, so the plan was to go into work, clean up the email box, participate in a conference call and then go to the doctor. As I’m about to turn on the street in front of my…

Quite often, we end up celebrating together. I’m going to SXSW between now and my birthday, which only gives us a handful of…

I actually went to a talk (links, discussion) a while back by one of our faculty who just wrote a book on the pitfalls of the…

Arrived without a hitch. I picked up Judith Warner’s Perfect Madness to read on the plane. I know Elizabeth has read it. I’ll add my 2 cents when I finish it in a couple of days. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
