Ship it and go home!
I have been working on a set of proposals (see Murphy’s Law post on Feb 5), during most waking hours for the past 6 weeks. One of my colleagues led one proposal – it was a great trade whereby I assigned three people to help write it and allocated an evening for reviewing a draft, […]

Susan’s Current Top 5 List
The Soul Town station on Sirius radio. (Can you dig it?) Going for a run on a sunny Sunday afternoon, even if it’s chilly Pastries from the Semi-Sweet Baking Co. on Winter Street Yoga class (I missed this week because I was in DC, but it’s been great) Having a 99% complete proposal draft done

Running log, 1/6/07
It was 62 degrees when I woke up this morning, and the showers were clearing, so Brian encouraged me to go for a run. It’s really disconcerting to go running in January without wearing any fleece. I was still too hot in a thin long-sleeved shirt and tights. This started out as a normal run, […]
