flying can be kind of a pain sometimes, but i get in a "zen" kind of mood when i travel and so the whole process is relatively painless for me…besides, i look at the upside…i try to do things when i travel that i cannot possibly do any other time….like expense accounting…..like making my "to …
rushing out the door for a quick trip to boston..no blogging for 24 hours….i will be presenting my work via a 15 minute slide show for a media buyers event…i am there to represent National Geographic…yes,a freelance job and an easy one for me to do….i have no problem describing the virtues of the Geographic …
no, no…the above "home alone" is not the title of my upcoming piece on work and relationships….sounds like it could be though doesn’t it?? ….no, i am not ready to write that piece just yet…another day….some good comments are still coming in…some truly poetic thoughts…..i will wait…or is that called stalling??? no, my home alone …
