As I walked to my car yesterday after work, every person I passed – outside or sitting in a vehicle – was on a cell phone. Except one. Me. My phone “phobia” has been documented before. I’m just not into the phone that much. I like talking to my family and friends just fine. When…

World AIDS Day
I knew this was World AIDS Day. But, until I went to the grocery store and saw two high school age employees wearing red ribbons, I had not hit me yet that TODAY was the day. It brought me back to 1991 when I lost my best friend from college, Mark. You know how those…
Ego-Blogging – is that what I am doing over here?
Interesting that I stumbled upon (but not via StumbleUpon strangely enough) this post today since I have been thinking about my little ole’ T-F corner of the blogosphere (can a sphere actually have a corner? I digress…) With the end of the P365 project last month, my posting volume has certainly declined. I am still…
From the Feely side..
In the USA, it is a time for focusing on thanks and gratitude. While I aim to have gratitude everyday, I certainly fall short some days. But, I am thankful for many things in my life (in random, coming out of my head order): A safe home Wonderful family and friends Music and art Movie…
Photography Self-Assignment
Being alone a lot this week in a hotel and conference center, I dwelled on the loss of my friend and colleague, who was the coordinator of our photography program and a all-around great guy. With the end of the P365 project, I have not been taking quite as many photos and I certainly have…
Give One, Get One: A great idea from the OLPC
I have been sorta watching the One Laptop Per Child initiative. It is an interesting idea – build an inexpensive laptop that can be given to children in countries that do not have access to such technologies. Feels very techy-feely to me! And now this initiative came into my radar: Give One Get One. Between…
Lists and Lists: Keeping is not the same as finding
While I share his feelings about stuff and storage, I am not sure I totally agree with his take on the electronic “stuff” we save. I do love my lists…no secret there. I have at least three different notebooks full of lists right now. Plus a list sitting on my desk of things to do…and,…
Isn’t it ironic? Or is it iconic? Or may just a quinkydink
I have been a big fan of Don Miguel Ruiz’ The Four Agreements for several years now. It has been the only book in the self-help genre that really resonated with me and I have re-read it several times and always get more from it on each pass through. I even got a small…
Starting another year
I just don’t think I can stop taking pictures now! But, I don’t want to jump right back into another Project 365 so I will take a break from that. I met my goal for getting into the 5K so my training might get a little less regular, I’ll have to try to not let…
