Last week was a bittersweet one ((According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, the quote I used as the title of this posting, which I know from the song “Closing Time”, is actually a quote from the Roman philosopher Seneca the Younger. Which seems much more sophisticated than being from the lyrics of a song about being […]
I arrived home today to find a little something unexpected in my mailbox: Mail from the Ministry of Justice? Apparently, I’ve been summoned for jury duty at the end of September! It’s a funny coincidence as just the other day I was talking with a friend about jury duty and how I’d never been summoned […]
Hey, remember that time I got an MBA? Or that time I got my Credentialed Evaluator designation? Apparently those things were both worth the effort – I’m happy to announce to the world that I now have a shiny new job! As a general rule, I don’t talk about my work here on ye ole’ […]
One of the many ways in which I was spoiled by my mother for my MBA graduation was that she bought me a frame for my diploma ((Being that I’m the type to lose and/or spill things on important documents, I wanted to get my diploma into the frame to protect if from me.)). But […]
A few weeks ago, my friend Kim came over for dinner. On her way in, she saw a realtor who was waiting for a client who had an appointment to look at a condo that was up for sale in my building. She came in and said, “Your exact apartment is for sale on the […]

… I’ll be running the Hollywood Half Marathon! Now that the plague that had infected my lungs is down to a mere biosafety level of 2.5, I’ve been able to get out and do a couple of runs this week, confirming that I can, in fact, break the previously-elusive (at least in the past 3 […]
A “happy birthday/congrats on finishing your MBA” card from my lovely friend, soon-to-be-Dr. Martha! Yesterday was Bethmas. Apparently I was so busy preparing and then celebrating that I never even gave you the usual Bethmas Eve greeting ((Though I did tweet it.)). But now I’m here to give you a recap. I decided that, since […]
I feel like I can summarize my year with two statements ((I suppose I should add a third one in there: had a break up. But I don’t like blogging about that, so I’m certainly not giving it its own bullet point. Moving on.)): did a hellava lot of school went on an awesome vacation […]
