For those of you...

whom know Thomas L. Friedman I would encourage you to give me his small podcast piece on the current European attitude on America a listen. I'm driving right now so I can't include the link, but I'll update this post later with full links of his works and recommended readings. Quite honestly, he's a fantastic economist, and seeing how that's my first undergraduate degree, I respect him greatly and normally agree with his findings.

**Update: Here's a link to his book, The World is Flat, on amazon. The podcast is from 10.19.2006 under the Discovery Channel Features (no direct link available) and you should be able to find it by subscribing to their feed. You can also find plenty of information on his own site as well.

I did some...

nice shopping today and certainly spent a pretty penny. But I think I'll be able to find this one jacket elsewhere and probably then able to get more than just one style for the same price. Back to the stores we go!

Eight clients later...

and I would say I'm officially tired. Luckily for me I'm taking tomorrow off! Time to go shopping!

How fantastically lucky...

I am to be back at work while the rest of my family is off. At least the day was productive and full of clients... never can complain about making the monies. Looks like I can take Thursday off, which will be first full day off in more than a year --much, much needed.

And so another...

Christmas has come and gone with the relaxing and hysterical family times to accompany. As for my posting, perhaps I can maintain some form of regularity, but only time will tell.

The present opening...

is officially over and I must say I'm rather pleased with the hook-up. It's always pleasurable to not receive junk you neither want nor need, but things you really can use regularly.

Six really big glasses...

of wine later and look who's a little bit tipsy!

The aunt,...

husband, and two youngins have arrived and we're approaching the much anticipated time of grubbing. It's almost humorous how much my parentals gush over kids that are not even their own!

Ah the joy...

of conversing with the pops on the various eccentricities of people and life!

The second puzzle...

has been glued and is awaiting drying. Now it's time to wash some rice.
