Email and peeing…

July 30, 2008

Reposted from a July 29, 2008 blog entry on Media Post. Not terribly exciting news when a dog does it, but when people start “multi-tasking” to this level, makes news….
About 59% of email users said that they check their messages while in the bathroom–up 6 percentage points from last year, according to AOL Mail’s [...]

A matter of perspective

July 29, 2008

It occurs to me that at 8:00 am, strawberry rhubarb pie is breakfast pastry, but at 8:00 pm, it is dessert!

We may be the change others are waiting for

July 28, 2008

We have moved into a new office on the other side of the road, just kitty-corner from the old building. But, because we are on the busy side of the street, our old walking route is beyond reach as cars race by on Main St., not allowing us to cross easily. So, we [...]

Seeing change…

July 17, 2008

We found a different path today and as I was sniffing around on the ground, I came upon this whole line of dead worms in the gutter along the blacktop. Apparently, at some point, there was a lot of water in the gutter and life was good. But, then the heat of the day came [...]

Spider

July 16, 2008

Today, our spider has built another web. Today, I did not swipe it away.

Moving Day

July 15, 2008

It is moving day for my office and I am doing my best to help out. All of those little specks of white are tiny styrofoam balls from the boxes that the new desks were packed in.
Somebody save me

Tenacious Spider

July 15, 2008

Every morning as we step out of the front door to go on our walk, I glance at the mailbox to the left and a spider will have built a web during the night. Sometimes there will be breakfast in it, sometimes not.
Every morning, I take the newspapers and swipe the web away.
Not sure [...]

Eat dessert first

July 14, 2008

I read the Wall Street Journal. I have since I was a young puppy when I got my first job at Dog Pound, Inc. While my peers always flipped to the Money sections, checked the stock quotes, etc., the first section I read was MarketPlace. This is where all the “life” bits happened which drove [...]

Northmont hires a leader?

July 3, 2008

I was reading the Englewood Independent yesterday and a sidebar article caught my eye. Northmont has hired a new superintendent, Douglas Lantz, formerly the superintendent from Franklin City Schools. Great! New blood, fresh leadership, a focus on building the human infrastructure of tomorrow…
But, then I get to Linda Blum’s quote. For the people who have [...]
