Posted in Uncategorized on April 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

March, 2010: This month’s book club selection was the book “Committed,” which we all hated for various reasons, but which sparked a lot of conversation, probably more so than any other book we’ve read. The main theme of the book is basically “Why bother to get married if you’re already in a long term, committed [...]

Not to get all bogged down in the plight of women in the workplace, but I read an article today that seemed an appropriate compliment to my last post, and wanted to share. NPR recently reviewed the latest offering from The History Channel: “America: The Story of Us,” and the reviewer shared her general disgust [...]

If I Only I Wasn’t So Socialized To be Polite, Then I’d Really Have Something To Say

So yesterday I read a post regarding the lack of female entrepreneurs in the NYC tech scene. I agree that the startup world is likely male dominated, but then, that’s with a lot of places; I spend a lot of my working day as the only female in the meeting, so it’s not like I’m [...]

Ironman Training Update: Oh Right, This is Hard

Sorry for the lack of updates. I had a brief existential crisis last week prompted by the five year anniversary of my consulting career, a crisis I dealt with by reading all nine Sookie Stackhouse books in a five day window. Better than stress eating, yes? Yes. Anyway, IM training is ramping up, like, for [...]

Wish You Were Here

I probably should have mentioned in my last post that the reason I finished “The Blind Side” in 24 hours is that I’m on spring break. Well, I’m on my stepdaughter’s spring break, and since 13 year olds don’t need supervision so much as companionship, I’ve been blessed with many, many hours of looking out [...]

Friday Night Lights, The Blind Side, and the West Coast Offens(ive)

Posted in Uncategorized on April 1, 2010 | 2 Comments »

So, while I understand how football is scored generally (I mean, I know a touchdown is 6 points and then you get an extra one for kicking), for the most part the specifics of football are completely uninteresting to me. My dad did the best he could to teach me, and I have very pleasant [...]
