Whirlwinds and Hurricanes

Such a time. Again, I apologize for my slowness in updating. Since my last major post:

• I've wiped my hard drive (on purpose)
• I've had lunch with the lovely and wonderful Jen
• I've become disgusted (yet again) with governmental nepotism
• I've decided to get serious about professional grantwriting
• I've scored beaucoup points with my boss, just for being me
• I've contributed to three Katrina relief funds
• I've looked into working on/in recovery as a food service manager (and decided not to finalize any decisions on the matter for at least a month)
• I've entertained and declined a more profitable but probably less fulfilling job opportunity
• I've reconnected with friends like CC
• I've had some anonymous compliments on my job
• I've had a good friend and colleague tell me that I look and seem happier, healthier and more at ease than I have in years

So yeah, I've been busy.

AND I MISSED BLOGGING FOR BOOKS!
