Low hanging fruit, Internet disconnection, and that certain je ne sais quoi…

I worked from home today. I took a late lunch, during which I met with Myra and Mark for a “Center for Excellence in Curricular Engagement Web Site Brainstorming Session.” We brainstormed about the “rhetorical purposes” of the web site and the general organization of it. Then, we prioritized the items in terms of what we … Read more

Catching up with Kevin, a meeting with Myra, and a tipsy tortured testament…

I actually went into the office today, where I had a decent day. I had lunch with Kevin (zy1125), who is now sporting facial hair, which made me think “Woof!” when I saw him.

I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village. We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more

Affirmations, Lynne Cook’s presentation, class, Helios, and some phenomenal singing…

I forgot to mention a couple of things that I wanted to capture from yesterday, but that entry was long enough anyway. I know, “Aren’t they all?” But you digress… The first thing was with regards to being an editor for a living and how it makes me crazy some times. I just can’t stop … Read more
