Nothing says “Spring” more than the sounds of a world freshly waking up. Birds are starting to sing songs to which the birdie lyrics go something like: “This is my territory. I’ve posted the No Trespassing signs. Go find your own plot of land.” Neighbors are starting up lawnmowers in a still-too-early attempt to outdo…
Reality hits on road to hybrid heaven I definitely have to look into that federal tax deduction for purchasing a Prius. Between the car and my medical bills, this is going to be a complicated tax year.
[I have no idea why the embedded links won’t work. Dear Diary insists on adding itself to the URL, for some strange reason. I’m going to assume it’s a bug that will be worked out, and so leave the links in place for the time being. If you want to see the original article I’m…
I understand that this one traces back to Jade. So here we go: The Eighties Pop Act Test deems me: 45% Eighties Pop Act You are Phil Collins: When your friends were with you, you were the coolest, but on your own, you were a simpering crybaby. Go listen to Genesis. Wait just a goll’darn…
I’m not ready for any retirement that requires I stay home all day because I can’t drive.
I get sidetracked more easily than a Conrail freight train making local deliveries. I originally wanted to title this entry “Living in Interesting Times”.

Hugs
The only reason I didn’t cry, too, was because Tech Man was sitting right next to me, and he already probably thinks I’m a big wuss. ;o) Seriously, though, I feel honored to know someone who cares so deeply about what they do.
I won’t go so far as to label where I work a holy place, but I do feel a great ethical responsibility for my work. When I was in college I had a professor who was so obviously bored with what he did that I hoped I would find something that I could be passionate about so I wouldn’t end up like that. I wish everyone searched for and found the Great Reasons for what they do. Reading your entry made me feel not so alone.
There are a few of us here at DD that have found honor in their work. Welshamethyst and TraumaMama come to mind. I’m glad to have found them, too.
Wow, that is a really great entry. I am really just at a loss for words…
I can relate to having to turn your feelings off. Been there, do that.
