Where to start? I guess a good place would be the fact that I am not supporting any particular presidential candidate at this point; I haven’t done enough research to justify support yet. I’m a long-time conservative, but I’m getting more moderate by the year (in part thanks to stupid conservatives). It’s also [...]

I’ve heard lots of discussions about renting vs. buying big items, and I pretty much sum up the best advice this way: Rent things you use less than a couple times a year; buy things you use more.

After staying up till 1am to complete Monday’s tasks (the book writing in particular), and then the book again last night till almost midnight, plus rising with the mister at 5:30am today, I’m pretty well beat. The core book writing is done and I’m whupped.
I’ve spent today catching up on the neglected clients and projects. [...]
I struggle with focus. I love the challenge of new things, but have a bad habit of taking on too many at a time, and the result can be very stressful.
Right now I have three major client projects in the works, I’m writing an ebook (due to my editor on Wednesday), and I’ve signed up [...]
