Today the training was all about understanding human behavior. The trainer was amazingly interesting and worked hard to impart tools to help us be better managers. I am not convinced that sitting in a fancy lecture center with all kinds of AV equipment and dark chocolate mousse served promptly at 3pm each day is going to make me a better mentor and coach to
270 of 365 College Radio
When I went to college I experienced the thrill of musical discovery via WHRW, SUNY Binghamton's college radio station. The station is run by students and as a result the music played on the air ranges from the alternative to the classical to the absurd. I learned a lot hanging out at the radio station and to this day I think my

On the Road: Binghamton and Ithaca
There must be one of those unwritten laws of the universe that holds "if you drive on a Thruway, there will be a major thunderstorm during the exact hours you are hurtling down the road at 70 miles an hour." Two weeks ago when we went to western Pennsylvania to see my cousin it poured and today as I drove west across upstate New York it poured.

This morning I talked to Fractured about stalkers, haters and blog posts. There was this guy who wrote about me and wrote about him...if only we could remember his name......

I am hitting the road today for a trip to Ithaca, NY and Cornell University. I am going to be participating in a week long course up there this week. I will be

Like everyone, I get tons of marketing information every time I log in to SL and if I am being honest, I ignore somewhere in the neighborhood of 99% of it. I get so much crap that it feels like an avalanche of ME ME ME ME ME ME when I log in and it drives me nuts. My response is delete, delete, delete.

I have been having way too much fun to write or even think a lot about my 365. So, you all get late night snaps taken on my sim without any post processing. Sometimes I would rather live than take pictures of my life. You understand, right?

We have french doors off the kitchen that open to the patio. It is lovely to open the doors and let the breeze blow in from the garden, especially on a summer evening. Last night as I was chopping vegetables, listening to old school Talking Heads and dancing around the kitchen when the

Linden Memorial Park Candle Beach
Just a few days ago I was talking to a friend about how difficult it can be to navigate the road to adulthood. We talked about our sons and the challenges extremely smart kids sometimes have fitting in to the world around them. During that conversation she said to me, "Ches a lot of these kids never make it."

Peter Stindberg plurked a link to a Harvard Business Review article by Alexandra Samuel called 10 Reasons to Stop Apologizing for Your Online Life. Please go here and read the article in its entirety. I loved it and share the 10 things for you here.

(best viewed larger, as always)~~~
Relationships never used to leave electronic detritus behind when they ended. There was no decision to be made about deleting a phone number from my blackberry or contact information from skype. I never spent time deciphering the actual intent of an emoticon in a chat log before deleting the file in disgust. It used to be friendships faded, people
The one in which Ches’ overtired brain won’t stop murmuring, murmuring words
Today a poet I don't know at all reached out to me. He said he read my blog and complimented my writing. He encouraged me to read my words at the Blue Angel poetry open mic. I was flattered beyond measure and completely blown away by the suggestion. I can't imagine doing it. How could I possibly? I don't even write poetry.

Friendship and Loyalty
The thing about dogs is they are loyal. No matter how many times I grumble at Chloe for being underfoot or yell at her because I had a bad day, she still puts her head in my lap every single time I sit on the sofa. If I let her she will climb in my lap, wrap herself around me as much as 45 255 of 365
I was not really feeling the photography tonight. Sorry.Listening to Von Johin at The Cove is good for my mood. That.is.all.
Jack Johnson is my other pretend boyfriend
If you are paying attention you know who my *real* pretend boyfriend is but please don't tell him about my love for Jack. Jealousy is so ugly. There is plenty of love for everyone.
"Better Together"
There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made
