  • on equinox, on 7 years of war on Iraq, walked with 20 people to remind town we're occupying a couple countries and ruining lives
  • listening to a recording of a consulting call, it's so painful to hear myself pause to think that i wish i said um more!
  • glad house is on high ground, but temporarily changing friendship goals from people who grow food to people who build boats.
  • thanks all for birthday wishes on Facebook (it's like it told you!)- helps keep e-mail under control as life stays crazy & good!
  • do fewer things; do things better; do better things
  • invites all without dinner plans or a desire to break them, within travel distance to Natick, to late dinner @ 33 Fisher tonight
  • danced in living room to Beatles' Twist and Shout and Ray Charles' Do You Love Me waiting for 'git add' massive old drupal site
  • lost e-mail and instant message (Thunderbird, Adium stopped being visible yesterday); expected productivity gains did not occur.
