Singing
April 5 was the Hopeful Cluster’s Lenten Cantata. We adopted a Baptist from Amesbury and a Bass from Maine to add to our diversity of Methodists from the local area, singing Marty Parks’ “Worthy!”. I would definitely recommend the piece for any church choir. The arrangements were easy to learn, in good ranges for 4 […]

Exercise, Travel and Home updates
Exercise: We registered for the Covered Bridges Half Marathon with our friend Heather, and we’re officially halfway there as of today based on training runs. Brian and I booked 6.8 miles today, our first run over 6.5 miles this season. It was a bit cloudy but reasonably warm for March. We’ve been enjoying the hills […]

Signs of Spring
Despite our snow storm on Monday, it did feel like spring by this weekend. the snow is nearly all melted. (And yes the church next door cleared a path through the snow mountain without us having to complain) the crocuses are up! Slinky caught mouse #2, cornered behind our TV trays. Smaller this time, and […]

Turning 34
Well, here it is, my birthday! I feel wonderfully loved and celebrated from all the cards, emails, phone calls and happy wishes. The Sheldons are staying with us this week, so I even got a happy birthday from my godson Max this morning before I went to work. I’m sad that I have succumbed to […]

I spoke too soon
Well, I jinxed myself. After crowing about the terrific snow we’ve had, this week was warm, sunny, and had sufficient rain that most of the snow is now gone. Me and my big mouth. On the other hand, that means there is plenty of dry pavement and thus I can run outside. Between a busy […]

Snowshoe Season 09
Snowshoeing this season has been fantastic. While everyone else is bemoaning the weekly snows and sub-freezing temps, I’ve been cheering! New snow every week! No freezing and thawing to cause crusty snow! Finally, the season for which I bought my snowshoes! And even better – all this MA snow has meant that snowshoeing is plentiful […]

Whirlwind
What happened to this week? It has included a lot of networking, career pondering and research, and work work work for me. A trip to DC on Monday, digging into a troubled project, and then attending an all-day off site management meeting yesterday were some highlights. It was fun, but now I’m truly exhausted. Even […]

a little less procrastination, a little more action
It has not been a banner month for following up on New Year’s resolutions, but it hasn’t been terribly bad either. One of my goals was to combat procrastination. I thought picking one neglected task per week would be a good goal. Rather than dwelling on how long I’ve been thinking about doing something but […]

improvements in the commute
Monday’s commute was pretty good. Not too much traffic, a few snarls at merges, but I still made it in under an hour each way. Tuesday’s commute was better. I picked up Brian Hone – by driving over the Rte 1A bridge! It’s open! I forgot how much I enjoy that route to Ipswich. There […]
