It’s been six days and he’s still having issues with feeding. Now I’m wondering if this isn’t a stomach bug, but maybe is reflux-related. We’re all mystified. At least he’s keeping down most of his meals, aside from the projectile presents that happen once or twice a day. Keep him in your thoughts, as we’ll probably end up doing an upper GI scan to see if there’s anything physiologically wrong. 2008-05-15 15:54:26 PDT http://technorati.com/search/michellewillingham.com/blog/2008/05/15/keep-good-thoughts/ 11 18 Michelle Willingham | Blog http://karenrosecedar.typepad.com/everydaycommunication/2008/05/graffiti-gone-o.html http://karenrosecedar.typepad.com/everydaycommunication/2008/05/graffiti-gone-o.html Thu, 15 May 2008 15:51:51 -0700 Bring some chalk to the subway stop at West 4th Street for a chance to tell New Yorkers how you feel because there are chalkboards for public use. Musicians use the platforms to play and make a few dollars, now it is writers’ turn. The chalkboards are located on the ramp heading toward West 4th Street and are already covered with messages in pink an white chalk, so bring an eraser. I suggest writing who you heart forever, that you were there, or a political comment.

I was wrong. The good folks at the library came through today. Unfortunately, I’ve got three or four other books I must read first, but I hope I’ll have it done and collect my thoughts enough to write a few paragraphs telling you about it. Stay tuned.

Some people amaze me in Second Life and Jilly Kidd is one of them. She has managed to plan and consistently run interesting events. Today at work I started on my professional blog, I was thinking to myself ‘jeeze there are so many technology blogs out there-will anyone ever see my scribbles?’ Then I received a group notice from Jilly advertising an event on how to do successful blogging.

The courthouse I was in today was steps away from Chinatown, which to my mind means one thing and one thing only: vegetarian dim sum! (How could I not take advantage during lunch break and search out the place I always have trouble finding in order to have a mini-feast, including the infamous “treasure balls”?) But the other part of jury duty is far more serious.

This hilarious, sad-but-true book trailer tells it like it is — and will probably do more for HEAD CASE: How I Almost Lost My Mind Trying to Understand My Brain, by Dennis Cass, than even his non-review in The NY Times!

The entries are getting shorter and my will to expand it and make it into something palpable wanes by the day. I lack that confidence you need in order to foist things onto the world. There’s a good line in Alex James’s autobiography about how difficult it is to be an artist because it is so much about belief and, if you the feeling that you’re not good enough takes root, you’re fucked.

I frequently talk to executive candidates who have either never conducted a job search or who are looking for employment for the first time in decades and they express the following concerns: Personal Branding: The personal brand issue and how to develop one that is right for me is still pretty clo 2008-05-15 15:20:26 PDT http://technorati.com/search/blog.premierwriting.com/my_weblog/2008/05/jobsearching-af.html 0 0 http://dhewitson.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/yomping-up-machi-picchu/ http://dhewitson.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/yomping-up-machi-picchu/ Thu, 15 May 2008 15:19:45 -0700  Today I patted a llama and climbed to the top of Machu Picchu. How cool is that? How completely, totally, amazingly awesome is that? I suffered, though. Suffered like a dog. Hauled my camera bag with two cameras, lenses, wallet, notebooks, change of clothing and toileteries up the mountain on my back. We left our suitcases in Cusco, and were told to take only a small daypack. Not realising that we would be going straight from the train up the mountain, leaving our daypacks with the porters t 2008-05-15 15:19:45 PDT http://technorati.com/search/dhewitson.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/yomping-up-machi-picchu/ 0 0 http://dreamergirl.typepad.com/dreamer_girl/2008/05/a-story-or-why.html http://dreamergirl.typepad.com/dreamer_girl/2008/05/a-story-or-why.html Thu, 15 May 2008 15:19:25 -0700 Thursday is coming to an end on this corner of the world. I long to be asleep, but my body isn't tired yet, so I thought I might as well tell you a story. I know this girl who, for various reasons beyond her control quit her job recently. For the first few weeks after she left her job she felt complevtly at peace with the situation. Until today. This afternoon a random song brought her to tears.

One of them started as a column on my thoughts–what would it be like to have 18 kids, like the Duggars of Arkansas? I got to typing, and I thought “Why the heck don’t I just call them and see if they have anything to add?” I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Duggar, and I worked in his comments among my own reflections on “what if that were me?” Since the news of the Dugga 2008-05-15 15:16:57 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.lmharmon.com/?p=893 19 218 L M Harmon http://moonbeamwalker.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/finding-the-right-word/ http://moonbeamwalker.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/finding-the-right-word/ Thu, 15 May 2008 15:14:59 -0700 I wrote a “rape” scene in one of my stories. My writing teacher was helping me edit my book and  when he came across the scene - he stopped and looked at me. This really happened didn’t it? I said yes it did. But how did you know? I questioned. Well, it’s in the detail. The young woman runs home and makes a batch of Oatmeal cookies and she eats the dough raw - trying to sooth herself.
