Friday, March 10th, 2006

Ok, I admit this post is horribly, horribly off topic and is something I don’t think is entirely appropriate for this space, but I got tagged as the scratchpad by our dear friend, fellow reader, mentee, and colleague Amy Disch to give four answers (remember the Friday Five?) to some questions in a blogosphere equivalent […]

Happy (Belated) Blogacatmas!

A Most Appropriate Fortune

Wednesday, June 15th, 2005

Just after joking around with a coworker about my wrist problems and the limitations I’m facing because of the injuries, I received this fortune in a fortune cookie:
"Don’t wait for others to open the right doors for you."
I think it’s hilarious

Congratulations, Gregory, on your new lung! Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!

Pardon this diversion. I met Gregory through the blog group quite a while ago. I haven’t seen him in ages. Wendy posted a note on the Thursday meetings blog announcing Gregory’s lung transplant. Gregory’s blog is recording the story, including details about his medical condition and recovery. Not only is it useful for those people […]

Love Notes from the Blogosphere

Friday, March 11th, 2005

Some of you remember me writing about Wendy and Joey, who met at a blog conference, fell in love, and will get married in a few months.

Season’s Greetings and all that jazz

Saturday, December 25th, 2004

A very kind e-mail from a reader wishing me happy holidays made me reflect on how many people I’ve met via this blog and the community that’s formed around it. I feel like I know more of you readers–virtually or otherwise–this year than I did last year, so wishing you happy holidays, season’s greetings, joyous […]

It seems like they have the wrong holiday. Shouldn’t the word be Christmahanukwanzaka?

Hey! I know that guy!

I don’t think the Phoenix article says The Mittens play at the Lizard Lounge tonight with Stargazer Lily and Sean Altman. Doors open at 9, 9:30, or 10 pm, depending on the source. The Mittens play last. Maybe I’ll wander over after my two meetings.
Anyone want to dance with me?
I didn’t think so, but it […]

Pass the corn, please.

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

People can never say thanks enough, so I want to take some space to mention some things I’m thankful for.

You blog readers and the community surrounding this blog
All of my speaking engagements and teaching opportunities this past year and everyone who helped me do them and participated in them
The new contacts and strengthened relationships I […]
