I’m aiming to unleash some pent up creativity, while also exploring my new (well, that’s a relative term) city, and at the same time working on my ability to...
Here we are one full week into 2010, a new year, a new decade, and, so far it’s living up to all my optimistic expectations. Helps that I didn’t make any resolutions, thus, no resolutions to have already broken by now…
I have, however, committed to a personal project 365, in which I will (try my...
Happy New Year!
What are you calling the new year? Two thousand ten? Or twenty-ten? I am leaning towards twenty-ten, but find myself saying two thousand ten too. Time will tell what’s going to stick, but I think it will be twenty-ten.
Now that we have THAT important stuff out of the way, I’d like to start...
