The view from my office this morning

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Snapshots never really do justice to how pretty something like this is. Tiny whispers of snow which soon emboldened themselves into big fluffy flakes. Peaceful and dreamy. Twenty minutes later it was bright and sunny. I love having an office window. :)

Incredible paper sculptures

Monster

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Apropos the “season,” I donned a hideous monster face last Friday evening. I regret that I didn’t have a camera. I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just eating dinner. But it turned out that the meatballs contained something which caused one of my legendary allergic reactions. There was nothing on the ingredient list which [...]

Here at Oshkosh!

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Well, I’m out of town at the EAA Airshow at Oshkosh, WI. I’m stunned at how big it is. There’s a zillion people out here. And a zillion planes. It’s great. More later. Maybe. :)

“Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss”

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Big news! Today was my first day at a new job! Two weeks ago I resigned my position as VP of Production and Technology at Simply Retail, where I’d been for over two years. I hadn’t been actively looking for a new job, but one day about a month ago I got an email from a [...]

Nice Hairs

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

That’s what Anna told me about my new haircut. Not “nice hair.” “Nice hairs.” And one of my co-workers put this plant on my windowsill thinking it might inspire something. Think my life is easy? :)
