In Perpetual Motion: Reflections On a 2.0 Vacation

Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes

That’s me coming out of a London phone booth on Heddon Street last week. If any David Bowie fans are reading this, they’re nodding their heads; and if the rest of you are scratching your noggins wondering what I’m going on about, here’s why Heddon Street is legendary to Ziggy Stardust fans, of whom my husband is king (and therefore, by association, am I queen).

In perpetual motion

You’re also probably wondering why I chose a photo that’s a bit fuzzy to illustrate this post. I did so because it captures me in motion, and […]

That’s a Lotta Snow: #snowmageddon 2010

Estimated Reading Time: 53 seconds

Didn’t think you’d manage to escape another #snowmageddon-dogs video, didja?

To set the stage, though (remember I used to be in the theater business), here’s what our deck (which is what the kitchen door opens out onto, and the way we get into our backyard, and where the dogs… you know…) looked like this morning around 7 am EST, followed by Lola Elizabeth (don’t you know bassets always, ALWAYS, must have middle names) looking out of the window longingly. And once you’ve had a gander at the photos (more here), do enjoy […]

Snowmageddon’s Upon Us!

Estimated Reading Time: 50 seconds

I took this video of my dogs the last time we had “snowmageddon” in the DC area, just before Christmas. That wasn’t even two months ago (dear Zeus, if you’re reading this, I’ve had enough, thank you).

I never got around to posting it the last time, though a few of my Twitter friends enjoyed it – and this time around it seems it’ll snow for quite a while before we can enjoy another canine romp through the white stuff.

Until then, for your viewing pleasure, here you go (and check out those abs on Lola the basset). […]

Getting on Board with Women Grow Business

Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

Thanks to my (wonderful) friends, this particular cat got out of the bag before I could untie the strings, so I’m going to make this short and sweet (though I’ve been dying to tell you for a while): I’m really excited to be taking over the reins at Women Grow Business, an amazing community hosted by Network Solutions to help women do exactly that: grow their business.

With content from leading women entrepreneurs on a variety of subjects, Women Grow Business has really made […]
