Update: You know the annoying person in every class? The person who has to pipe up with such starters as, “In my experience….” or “This is what I do…”. The kind who clunks you over the head with enthusiasm, yes, but also with a kind of unnerving zap that you just want them to shut the hell up?

Well I think that was me today 🙁

It was okay. A couple of new tricks and tips, but nothing mind-shatteringly insightful. Oh well. It was nice to be in the city for a change. I do miss it.

I’m spending six hours today in the city for a writing course. I am very excited. Time to polish up on some skills, taste the happiness of collaboration and motivation, and not have kids around my ankles 99% of the time.

Bliss!
