Since we happened to be in Our Nation’s Capital ((Nancy insisted that we all refer to Ottawa as “Our Nation’s Capital” for the entire time we were there. And it had to be pronounced in a big, important sounding way, such that I feel she was pronouncing it capitalized.)) this morning, which just so happened […] →Read more

This and That

After two long days of workshopping, my brain is now in vacation mode and thus, incapable of any real coherent thoughts. Thus, I give you a list of random thoughts. I’m back at my hotel room, waiting for for my mom, sister, and nephew to arrive. My sister texted me with an update when they […] →Read more

My Hotel Room

Perhaps this is just a sign that I don’t get out much, but boy do I love hotel rooms. Of course, the best part of hotels, imho, is the hot tub, but I like the room part too. Here’s a little tour of my hotel room in Ottawa  for the next couple of days. (You’ll […] →Read more

Things I would have tweeted if my plane had the Internets

I has all the seats: Flight attendant just rattled off all the juices they have and when she said “Clamato,” I was reminder that I’ve never had a Caesar. #theUnvegetarian #TweetsTheAmericansWouldntUnderstand I bet I can convince my men to have a Caesar with me. It’s weird to be going to Ottawa and not seeing @smacdo03 […] →Read more

Packing

Today just flew by at work, as days are wont to do when one has a gazillion things they are trying to get done before they go away for the better part of a week ((Notice how days never fly by like that when you have, say, an exciting weekend planned and it’s Friday?)). My […] →Read more

My Brain at… oh, something shiny

Yesterday was day #2 of the conference that I mentioned in my blog posting on Thursday and at said conference I won one of the book draw prizes. Oddly, given that there were hundreds of people at this conference, three of six people at my table won book draw prizes over the course of the two […] →Read more

Closer You Get To Canada

The Closer You Get To Canada is a short film directed by my friend John Bolton, who you may remember from such films as 12 Takes and Breakdown ((And Flame/Through Walls,which I totally thought I blogged about, but I can’t seem to find that blog posting on my blog!)). Go watch it. Go watch it […] →Read more

On Being Vulnerable and Connecting

Recently, a coworker of mine shared the following video with me and I think everyone should watch it: The speaker, Dr. Brené Brown, gave a keynote at the management conference at my work today. It reminded me of some conversations I’ve had with a few friends recently. As you may notice from my blog, I talk […] →Read more
