It’s been a busy fall in our household. Daughter #1 graduated from university last spring, had a summer job, and landed a real full-time job. She lived with us for a couple of weeks, along with her two roommates, and moved out on Labor Day weekend. Daughter #2 started university just before Labor Day. Mark […]
I’m trying to start a forum on my site. I am stuck and need help. If you know how to set up forums and are available to help me get started, I would like to talk to you. Please email me. Thanks.
I have fixed the how-do-I-get-up-in-the-morning-when-Mark-is-traveling problem. I bought a new Sangean RCR-5 Digital AM/FM Clock Radio with a Sangean Pillow Speaker – #PS-100 – D/S (I love them both) and now, I hear the alarm, no matter what side I sleep on!

I’ve had a rough month. When I returned from Agile 2009, my right ear didn’t unblock from the plane. I couldn’t hear out of it, and it was blocked. I didn’t think much of it–I went to the doctor who said, “yup, you’ve got fluid. Take decongestants.” I did, and the vertigo got worse. Finally,

After the US-based Software Development conference last week, I flew to Wellington, NZ. I’m speaking at the Wellington/Auckland/Sydney Softed conferences this week. I have slept almost enough, so if you’re in any of these places and you would like to get together for dinner, let me know. (The last time I was here, I did
We’re on our way home from a ski vacation. Mark’s the driver; I’m the navigator. This morning (in the dark at 5:30am), Mark said, “I don’t need a GPS. I already have a voice to direct me.” I, of course, cracked up. Labels: humor, personal
Udi tagged me, so I guess I need to play 🙂 Here are five things you don’t know about me: I take ballroom dancing lessons with Mark. We’re getting pretty good! No, neither of us will be competing on “Dancing with the Stars,” have no fear! We’re both keeping our day jobs. I used to
This is a little off topic, but it’s a big deal to me 🙂 We hit a major milestone this week. Daughter #1 is off to school. (For my non-US readers, that means university.) We have just one daughter at home, who starts high school this week. Sending a child to school is not like
