I'm still wondering a bit about things I have to be thankful for. Clearly family is on the top of the list, then health, friends, you know the drill. Like most, I wonder also about the things I don't have but want, the things lost and still not resolved. (If you go see Chicken Little and find yourself weepy during the father/son 'discussions' you'll now what I mean)
And even this blog, what exactly does it mean any more. To me? That is still to be decided. Stay tuned.
Last weekend's opportunity to speak to students about the ups and downs was great fun and good from a networking sense of meeting other professionals outside of just my normal 'designer' crowd.
Karen is back from Chicago (she was gone from Monday night until really late Friday night). I had the kids all week and let me just say it's a very hard job to take care of two kids, work full-time, go to all the 'kid' events and attempt to keep a house clean. I really have no clue how our parents managed it all. I didn't even get the laundry done. (Kids wore clean clothes all week, though). At least things didn't get any messier. I just sort of kept everything at an acceptable level and worked from there.
Today, we're off to hike in nearby Gunpower Falls State Park while Karen gets some work done. And congrat's to my TERPS on their exciting win against North Carolina yesterday.
The astute, and somewhat absent, author of this blog will be appearing tomorrow at the First Annual Portfolio Workshop/Student Professional Day at the offices of Gannet/USA Today in McClean, Virginia. Besides lending his own views on the profession that is design, he will be moderating the morning photography breakout session. More information about the event can be found at the Focus on Design web site.
