    Not an original title (google it, there are references throughout the internet--we are not a dying breed) but an accurate one. Reading (& knitting) promiscuously keeps my nose clean, my hands busy and my mind off of other preoccupations of modern life.

    Ahhh...relief in the form of a good summer read


    I started JPod last night. Classic Coupland. A much-needed summer read after the disappointment of the previous book. I've also made more progress on the sweater. I'm almost done with the back.
    If you haven't checked out Joe's Goals yet, give it a try. It's a pretty simple website that allows you to track goals (positive and negative) and then gives you daily, monthly, quarterly reports about progress. I made a humorous profile for my husband--the 21st century version of the Honey-do list I suppose.
    It would be improved if you could create different profiles for different moods. I mean, I know that's why they call them goals, but really it seems pretty unlikely that you can have the same goals every day. You know, normal day goals would be exercise, walk dog, clean bathroom with bleach and a toothbrush (ha ha) and then you could have goals for those horrible days when you don't even want to get out of bed and just need a push in the right direction (goals could be: brush teeth, shower, speak in sentences). Just a thought.
