News I Found Interesting Today

I do a lot of reading with my work. Newspapers, magazines, online news feeds, you name it. I thought I would start sharing with you the stories, articles or news clips that I found particularly interesting (or shocking, or depressing, or thought provoking - you get the idea).

Not Much Going On

Not much is going on these past few weeks. Work has kept me as busy as I want to be. It's kind of a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of month, I guess. I did get to have my bestest friend Celeste over for dinner this week - always a good time.

The cat sleeps during the day and plays at night - sooo, that's fun.

Wish there was more to share but, I guess, no-drama is good drama.
