Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
After a rollicking start, I have stalled out on page 268. I shall endeavor to move along at a faster clip.
Also, sadly, you would think there would have been a lot of books between this entry and the last one, but you’d be wrong. A lot of magazines, newspapers and blogs, and a lot of television, but not so much with the books.

An Opportunity to Help Out Donors Choose
Hey! Long time no see!
A lot to talk about, soon, I hope (like, after a year in hotels I'm back to being a lawyer). But for now, something that urgently needs your attention, if you have an American Express card of any stripe (e.g., Blue).
My favorite charity, Donors Choose is a finalist in the American Express Members Project. They could get $5 million to distribute to schoolteachers throughout the country to fund "extras" for the classroom that aren't covered in school budgets. (Like Ladybug Kits.) It would be so cool if they won, and there are four other worthy causes up for the money as well.
So, head on over to the Members Project and vote for "Teachers Ask. You Choose. Students Learn.

Goodness....
It's amazing what working all the time at a job you actually enjoy does to your ability to screw around on the internet.....at work.
So, after a long absense, I have only one thing to post:
VOTE on Tuesday! Vote like your life depends on it! Vote vote VOTE!
That is all for now...

The past three weeks....
I have been very remiss in my updating of late. This is primarily because I'm no longer working at a dull-as-dirt legal temping assignment all day where messing around on the internet was the only way to stay sane!
Yes, I'm about to enter my fourth week in The Hospitality Industry. I am happy to say that this seems to be a great fit for me...it's the first time is six years that I've looked forward to going to work.
The people I work with are great, and there's none of the cynicism and self-interest that was so pervasive in every legal practice situation I found myself in. People seem genuinely enthusiastic about what they're doing, and everyone's on the same page as far as the goals of the organization.
It's also a lot of fun....we get all sorts of celebrities in the hotel. Sadly, I'm sworn to secrecy, but it just adds to the variety.
The one down side would have to be getting up at 5AM when I have an "early" shift (7-3). It's interesting, however, that 5AM is something I could have never done for a legal gig, no matter how good my intentions, but for this I was able to do it. I consider that a very good sign.
Fortunately not on a 7am shift this week, so I can stay up and finally update this thing! It's good to be happy at work again!
