The Cycle Completes

120 minutes left in what is the last vestige of my previous life. The doors close at 5:00 p.m. and I will walk out of them for the last time as an employee of this institution. I can’t say as I’m totally happy about the situation. I can say that it will be nice to not have to fight for every inch of a project’s development—if for no other reason that I’ll no longer be working on my project. There was a lot I had planned and to see it go unimplemented is sad. Could I have done a better job selling it? Would it have mattered?

Alas and alackady…

The boxes are packed, the good-byes said, there’s just 115 minutes left between me and the rest of my life.

Rescued Iraqi dog coming to America

You’d be right to ask why this story, of all the possible stories coming out of Iraq, merits linkage. I can’t tell you other than for some combination of events in my life and my current mood compel me to share. If we can do this for a stray dog in the desert, we can do anything.

Ye Gods! I’m sounding like an optimist…
