Day 198: Imperfect
Yes, I know it’s a perfectly good adverb–and if we were talking about grammar, we could call it a noun–but in keeping with the past 197 days, we are going to abuse “imperfect” into service as a verb…. As in: … Continue reading
Day 190: Orchestrate
We have to coordinate a lot of moving pieces right now. I just got done writing out a couple of paragraphs’ worth of details explaining all the things that need to be done by about a half dozen people in … Continue reading
Day 185: Interdepend
OK, OK–I’ve probably already used up my yearly allotment of bad puns and made-up words, but I couldn’t help myself today. Just a short post to note that on a day celebrating “independence,” it’s worth taking a moment to acknowledge … Continue reading

Day 151: Disinvest
Somewhere around five o’clock tonight–as I was straddling the intake duct on the heat pump in an attic well over 100 degrees, wrestling with a disassembled, solid oak crib–it dawned on me that (once again), the day had gone somewhat … Continue reading
Day 132: Stack
Tonight I tackled a measly, little bookshelf. Most of what I have on this little, wooden bookshelf are work-related books: scholarship that touches upon my own work in one way, shape or form. Some of these points of contact are … Continue reading
Day 115: Thank
It will have to be a short post tonight–I have to head off to a work-related dinner, then I have evening plans following that, which will probably keep me out late. So just a quick post to check in…. This … Continue reading
