Today, I sorta –– more or less –– took off. I did manage to re-adjust my scanner and complete the forms my accountant needed. And I cleared 2.4 mysterious gigs on my iPhone (a weird tip on askdifferent worked). But then I drove off to the Marin Mini Dealership to see if I had won the $30,000 giveaway –– wh...

I designed a new business card for myself today, figuring that I might really want something new and fresh for the conference panel I’m moderating in two weeks. I was choosing between fonts and found myself deeply attracted to Handel Gothic, one I’d never used before. Well, I love Handel and al...

Once again, today I read through a client’s book which was truly excellent. And I finished all the tax stuff and emailed off to my accountant. I did a 30 minute jump rope practice thanks to my new LLS-recommended app gymboss (which is truly spectacular but should be coordinated with iTunes so that yo...

Well, actually there is. Completing things for my 2011 tax extension for Monday, October 15th and it’s proving surprisingly easy. I am a great collector of receipts,  and –– since it seems I only dine or hang out or travel with people with whom I have projects –– EVERY breath I take is a deduction. A...

This is the first — and perhaps only — blog I am writing on a (borrowed) iPad. If I could actually work on an iPad it might be worth it. (Although frankly, typing just this much is exhausting…what the hell is Oprah thinking?)

This morning, Belle and I prepped for the arrival of LLS & Philip –- shopping for Canadian delicacies at Whole Foods, etc. –– and then a mini-jump rope session, before heading off to Stinson Beach to celebrate my college roommate’s birthday. That drive is unbelievably spectacular, almost too gorg...

Argh!  The Blue Angels … how they torment my little dog. It was midday when they started and I was at my mailbox picking up not one, but two client checks … when suddenly they started tearing apart the sky. Belle did something slightly even more shocking than not swimming (as she did yesterday)...

The Blue Angels, specifically. They spooked Belle when they started at 1pm today, but then she recovered. It was weird because she reacted way before I could remotely hear the sound of their roars and I wondered just what was frightening my little dog. But then when Belle and I went to the beach at 3:50, t...

Went for my second floatation session today at Zazen –– miraculous because I bought the groupon, and then they screwed up the location and gave me a freebie, so my savings is astronomical. In a way, since I still teach 2.5 people yoga privately just to “stay in the game,” I’m ...
