How do you gauge if you are doing what you set out to do? Goals, plans, milestones… Some people say these are all a fool’s errand–wild guesses in an attempt to tame the chaos. I don’t have a clue. I try to keep knocking things off the list. The list never gets done. I’m OK […]

I used to start each of these posts with a quote. Or did I end with a quote? I can’t recall. It really doesn’t matter in the slightest. Instead, I’ll leave you with this lovely Kurt Vonnegut story from an interview, or maybe from Timequake. “I work at home, and if I wanted to, I […]
