the day has to start somewhere

I crossed over the International Date Line on my way here to Australia.   That means that on Friday night I left San Francisco, and at whatever time I was flying over the date line, let’s call it 3 AM Saturday morning, it turned into 3 AM Sunday morning, and I arrived in Sydney at 8 […]

Quadrilla, the marble game and coffee

I have arrived safely, with no major issues. Luckily one can purchase a visa to enter Australia at the airport check-in counter (since I hadn’t remembered that T told me to get one back in November).   It’s beautiful here, even with the light rain that fell all day.  There has apparently been a drought for […]

Off to Australia

Packing in earnest today for my two-week vacation in Australia to visit my great friend Theresa, digging out all of my summer clothes and rain gear.  She lives in Sydney with her husband and two-year-old cutie-as-a-button son.  Theresa and I became friends when we were both in the same group in PC Zim.  I’ll be […]

process and non-process

We bought them, but we are having merging issues.   They used to be owned by a big big corporation, and consequently have lots of process.   Apparently our company didn’t have a lot of process — I am just now realizing this.

a quiet, productive day

After a week’s worth of travelling and working long hours, I came back home on Friday to host my book club meeting on Saturday afternoon — meaning I had to clean beforehand.  Then a movie at a friend’s house on Saturday night, and I was ready to do just about nothing today (Sunday).   So I did […]

Speaking Hebrew

I’m in Israel for work again this week. I’ve been pretty busy, and haven’t had much time to write blog posts. But I thought about writing a post earlier in the week, about how I seem able to understand what is going on around the office even when people are speaking Hebrew. There are just […]

mutual admiration society

Earlier, I wrote about Seward, and how early in Lincoln’s presidency he thought he was the real leader in Lincoln’s administration.  He had been a popular politician almost his whole life, he was a very intelligent man, and he had a healthy ego — he thought he had deserved the presidency and initially had a […]

brevity

Very important ideas can be stated very briefly, without a lot of high-fallutin words.  Evidence the Gettysburg Address. There is a lot we can learn from Abraham Lincoln.

Ok, so I have my own domain now.  Luckily nobody had purchased hameno.com yet.
