For the most part, the clients have entered the quiet zone known as Holiday Shutdown. It’s a blissful and glorious time, the time where I get to spend multiple days getting organized, closing out the current year and looking ahead to new things.

The weather was fantastic, the course was scenic and it was an [...]
Losing Things
I rarely lose things (missing socks in the laundry notwithstanding). While my desk may not look orderly, I can find any file in milliseconds. I can track any email that I’ve received in the last two years. I always know the whereabouts of my car keys. Maybe this explains why I [...]
