Thoughts on my day: because there was a chance that I might have to stay late for a meeting this evening, I decided to get up early* to go for a run before work as I didn’t want to run in the dark after getting home late. Apparently someone is unfamiliar with the concept of […] →Read more
As you know, today was my first day of work. My job rocks!! There’s lots to do but so much of it is going to be fun and challenging and I’ll get to use a lot of my mad skillz, but also learn cool new things. Had a meeting today with some of the key […] →Read more
(a) So, I went out for a run today. Just a little 14 K*. In a torrential downpour. Believe it or not, I actually really enjoy running in the rain… You get awfully warm running and the rain is delightfully cool. There are only two drawbacks: (1) I get a lot of water in my […] →Read more

Today is Danielle’s Birthday. And since I’m poverty stricken and can’t afford to buy her a really good gift like she deserves gifts that you make are so much more personal, I’m writing a tribute to here in my little corner of the blogosphere. Now, Danielle is not much of a technophile, although she is […] →Read more
