what newt believes
One of my dear friends got me the “This I believe” series of CDs for Christmas. I listened to many of the essays over the weekend on our drive up to Wisconsin. The essays were on the most part thought-provoking, and almost everyone spoke in a positive manner — even (and especially) those whose beliefs arose […]

I was at the big conference for my profession last weekend, and chatted with a number of people.
I saw Maggie from New York, one of my former customers and a friend. I looked for her at our reception, and we gave each other a big hug when we saw each other. She told me the […]
no laptop this weekend
I can barely remember the last time I didn’t drag my laptop around with me on a trip. Ok, yes, I remember, it was Italy in September.
Going to an RPCV skiing/hiking/camping weekend up north. This is the first one I’ve been to in a long time. I know a lot of these people from before […]
lincoln and being breezy
So Lincoln was aware that he needed help in this big war, and used his political acumen to surround himself with smart people. He chose people from all different philosophies/factions for his cabinet, keeping in mind his higher goal of presenting a united North to be able to stand against the rebellious south — having […]

I’m back, I’m back, but have not had any time to post anything thoughtful about the last week or so. I spent a lot of time reading Lincoln on the plane and have some comments on that, and a few comments on the conference, but what with catching up with friends and Kramer’s 50th birthday […]

So here I am in Seattle, and anyone who knows anything about me knows that this is one of the big conferences for my business. So I’ll be working the booth constantly unless I’m at a session that I have to attend for work.
I’ll rest next week, finally.
managing seward
I have read a few books about Lincoln before, and a little about the civil war, and so had an idea of William Seward, Lincoln’s secretary of state. Before I started reading this book about Lincoln now, I had the impression that he thought he was in charge of the administration (with Lincoln being a […]

I’m at home for not quite two days - this is enough time to do laundry, pack, and do a little bit of work before heading off for another business trip.
I also took the opportunity to visit our company’s new offices yesterday, and meet a few people. As has been said by a few people, […]
marie returns from nashville
I was in Nashville again these last two days (Mon and Tue), and spoke about Lincoln and the south again. A fair amount.
I’m just not sure what to think about this “South” thing. Having been corrected much of my life by people saying that there really is no north-south thing anymore, people in the south are just […]
marie visits little falls
The biggest news of the weekend is that Erin got DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) for her birthday, the same thing Savannah got for Christmas, and I think I might have been just about as excited as Erin was when she opened it. We both immediately ran downstairs and got the game set up so that we […]
