So lovely to see the spice drawer as I just listened to the podcast where you discussed moving the spices (twice!).
You may inspire me to garden this season. I'm in California...I should have no excuse!

Waiting for the sun
Spring has unsprung here in Scotland. Last week I'd started an entry about sunshine and gardening and daffodils jumping out at you from every corner. But now? Snow! Sleet! Rain! All the daffodils have been flattened by wild winds. Dr G and I had been busy getting the garden sorted but it's looki...

Craig,
Today I read a piece of citizen journalism in the Sacramento Press http://sacramentopress.com/headline/6422/Is_Anyone_Paying_Attention about a local duck pond in Sacramento. I immediately thought of this blog post. Even the smallest actions echoed in an article can mobilize the best intentions of people. Thank you for your post.

"if we ran the world" about turning good intentions into action
It's still in process, but Cindy Gallop was thinking about one of the biggest of problems, how to turn the good intentions of millions of people into actual action. The idea is to use crowdsourcing to get people together. This is really worth looking at. Cindy Gallop found herself thinking t...
Thanks Mel. Yeah, I am gonna tell them about the itching tomorrow. It seems better now. I did get a little cleaned up tonight so I feel a lot better. I would love to wash my hair -- maybe tomorrow I'll be up for it. I'm actually fine sleeping most of the day like I did today!
Thanks for checking in :)

Day 2: Foggy
So time for post-party wrap up from my surgery. Here I am...made it through. I was scheduled to report at 9:30 yesterday and when I got there, I found out there were running 30 minutes late. They came and got me pretty quick after we arrived and asked me a slew of questions, including the ones ...
OMG, I loved your video! How cute. Xena's ears are so cute :) Thanks for reading and stay tuned. Never a dull moment.

Fifi & Me
Over the course of our lovely vacation in Mexico, I took the time to relax and read a book. Marley & Me. Mike gave it to me for Christmas last year and I decided that before I see the movie, I needed to read the book. (Not like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which I never made i...
Yup, going through this one more time. Hopefully it turns out as well as the first one!
I'll keep you posted! Maybe I'll start blogging again some more!

I give up, fix me.
With my left ankle now going through the same thing my right ankle did just over a year ago, I've decided it's time to fix it. I have been hobbling around for the past month or so, and the last two weeks back in Das Booty. It's not getting any better. I have an appointment wiht Dr. Starkweathe...
Aw, thanks Jeffrey! I'm glad you noticed! And I'm having a blast working with you!

Furlough Fridays require serious changes
With the State requiring furloughs on the first and third Fridays of each month for the next 18 months and the required 10% paycut for State employees, I feel it's my duty as a manager to take care of my people. I'm recommending the following menu suggestions for my friends and co-workers now on...
Well, social networking is really part of my job, as I am in the process of doing some discovery for use of social media for govt. I keep the personal use limited to just personal time, but I am perusing google reader, and various shared links, articles, etc. for work purposes. I'm finding my way with the separation, though...it's definitely a work in progress, but I'm feeling the progress :)

Being a geek comes easy for me...
On a typical day, I spend about 10 hours or so at a computer. At work, if I'm not in meetings, I'm at my computer either responding to emails, writing emails, managing emails...you know the drill. At home, I'm on Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, or just surfing. What I do in my personal time...
Karl!
Thanks for posting about your blog. I applaud you for having an inside blog on the outside, and for being a public agency (I guess the UC system would be considered that) to do so. I like the work you guys do over there.
So what's this about your wife having a baby??? Congrats papa!

Ball Girl Goes Viral
This video has been flying around the web for a little bit now, and now that it's hit the Ogilvy 360 Degree Influence Site, I figured it was time for me to talk about it. First of all, this was filmed in Fresno at a AAA baseball game featuring the Fresno Grizzlies and the Tacoma Rainiers. How ...
