I was driving home from work this evening and it seemed like everyone around me had a case of the Mondays. People looked down in the mouth, and my fellow motorists were quite the grumpy bunch. As for me, I’m just glad that last week’s humidity is …

A friend of mine I went to college with would often call and ask me what I was doing. “Getting ready,” would usually be my response. He would always laugh when I’d say this, because I think he thought there was something more specific I was doing …

Sometimes I set out at the start of a day and I have a whole list of things to do. Go here, then there, and on my way to that place, I’ll swing through this place. On occasion, the “start” of my day may not be until 3 or 4pm, but those are the day…

I have eleven more to go. I never thought I’d reach this day, although I hoped that I would. When I started out, it seemed like such a monumental task, but now it seems so…everyday. At first, I was reminded on a daily basis by my Blackberry. Now…

Confession: I’m “that neighbor” who does random things at weird hours of the day. At least that’s what mine probably think. If I can’t sleep at 2 or 3am (and if you can’t, either), you’ll see my office light on. I sometimes go in and write things …
