Odds and ends
Reunited…
Guess I’m a sucker for a good piece of technology. I went and paid for a second LG enV cellphone over the weekend, to replace the one I lost on Christmas Eve (after owning it less than a week). This photo of my friend’s dog gives you an idea of how good the camera is [...]

‘Age of Conversation’ update: $11,000 raised for Variety
Earlier this year, when I was blogging over at www.marketingideablog.com, I was fortunate to participate in a multi-author, blog-to-bookshelf project called “The Age of Conversation.” The book was a fund-raiser for Variety - The Children’s Charity. So far, $11,000 has been raised and donated, with the book still for sale in e- and soft-cover formats. [...]
A little late with the Christmas cheer…
Because the past month is such a blur, I know I missed participating in a “Christmas meme” that I first noticed over at Des Moines Girl’s blog, Des Moines 360. Hoping you’ll indulge me the opportunity, though late, to play along!

Iowa Caucuses: an opportunity to showcase the state
Over at my day job, we are taking a lot of calls this week from reporters who are interested in the Iowa Caucuses coming up January 3. In particular, they are interested this week in the “economic impact” of the caucuses. What they are asking is, “How much money comes into Iowa as a result [...]
Link Round-Up, December 28
Not only have I not had time to write many blog posts lately, I haven’t even really had time to keep up with my feed-reading. So I’m quite certain I’ve missed linking to some really wonderful posts over these past few weeks.
Here, though, are a few I read today and wanted to be sure to [...]
My green EnV - here today, gone tomorrow
To whoever found my phone, probably in the Dahl’s or Walgreen’s parking lot on East Euclid on Christmas Eve, I’m sorry you didn’t have the character to turn it in to the store’s lost-and-found or even answer it when I was frantically calling its number to try to locate it. I hope you enjoy the [...]
Christmas was perfect!
I am finally breathing a sigh of relief. My dad’s immediate health issues have been resolved and he is doing much better at home while we look for an assisted living arrangement that meets his long-term needs.
And, while I missed the build-up to Christmas entirely this year due to work and personal chaos, I finally [...]
Where’s Floppy?? He’s on my Christmas DVD!
A neat gift arrived in the mail today from my good friend Mark in California - it’s a DVD compilation of Christmas episodes of “The Floppy Show” from WHO TV in the 1960’s. Mark and I were both typical central Iowa kids who watched Floppy every afternoon after school and even appeared in the audience [...]
