Five Thousand Stories
2007-09-13 21:07:00 It’s going to be complicated relating my past week to you, as I’ve had more firsts and more excitement than in quite some time. Of course, it’s always more fun to share through pictures. Thing is, we took something like 257. So it’s going to take a little while for me to find the best ...

Imitation Salsa
2007-09-12 19:55:00 While we were in Mazatlan, we ate chips and salsa on the hour. It was the most addicting salsa I’ve ever had. I would IV it if I could. I haven’t had any good Mexican cuisine in WA state, there probably isn’t any. I decided to make my own, after carefully creating an ingredient list. ... More About: Random Thoughts , Salsa
The Thief Maker
2007-09-11 06:54:00 Publishing a book is hard. And it’s a big deal. I had no idea where to start once I stopped writing. I really like the idea of publishing the book through a self publishing company rather than dealing with stress submission and rejection. I have talked about iUniverse with David, you’ll even find him ... More About: Reading , Writing , Blogging , Maker , Thief
Viva Mexico
2007-09-11 05:01:00 It always takes a week for me to get around to my travels, mainly trying to bug MK to get the pictures to me, since he is in the habit of hiding the camera cords.

Leading Zombie Expert
2007-09-09 07:07:00 How have I lived this long without the Zombie Survival Guide?? I can only hope when Random House publishes my book they give me half as cool a website. And that when the zombies come I’m ready. How funny would it be to sit at a coffee shop or on the bus and be taking notes? More About: Reading , Zombies , Expert , Leading

Rich Dad, Poor Dad
2007-09-07 17:32:00 So this book has been out for some time now. I ran out of reading material on the plane and stole this from MK, not sure why he was even carrying it around though.

August Tally
2007-09-06 19:12:00 Too many visitors and vacations are getting in my way again (still). My new resolution is to not treat it as an excuse for bad food and drinking any more.

No More Dropping It Like It?s Hot
2007-09-06 17:33:00 What am I talking about? My favorite dance move, of course. You may call it the “Dip It Low”, “Bootilicious” the “Shakin’ It” or the “Get Low”. All you need to know about it is that if it has been a while, even if you are a super star runner, you should limit yourself. I haven’t ... More About: Life , Drop

2007-09-04 18:52:00 Or how about shouldn’t matter, not this much. It seems everyone is a little too worked up about the dogs. I’m late even getting out an opinion at this point.

Wrong Genre?

2007-08-28 14:47:00 There is no way I can comprehend how hard it is to find a bathing suit in August. August is supreme swim suit wearing time. It’s still hot out. It’s summer in some places… Not all of us are going “back to school”. Frankly, I don’t even know why that’s an excuse for new clothes. Whatever. ...

2007-08-20 19:10:00 Found this quote this morning, over at Doc Searls Weblog (yeah, it’s old) and thought it really resonates. Informing is not the same as delivering information.

And We Danced

They tell me it’s not that hot, then we’re all sweaty and gross. Right. MK thought I must have danced like crazy. I couldn’t tell if I got any ...
