Going pro (in journalism)

How about this for the lede (first sentence) for my next article: “According to Wikipedia, Marc Chagall was a very important person.”

Hmmmm, maybe not …

Although it makes me wonder how many high schoolers begin their term papers that way.

Already behind

OK, so first of all, Mike and I are NOT engaged!

However, we’re talking more about wedding stuff, so I went ahead and took a peek at TheKnot.com. If you want to do anything on their site, you have to register for it, so register I did.

And, according to the homepage, Mike and I have 189 to-dos, 50 of which are “overdue.”

I’m guessing that “propose” is one of those 50.

Only in Boulder

On an early morning bike ride yesterday, I saw a woman running. And she was running fast!

Which made me think: Wow. She’s running faster of her own volition that I would be running if I was being chased by a bear.

Yup. I'd be a goner for sure. Pic by Daisyree Bakker on Flickr.

Update on New Year’s Resolutions

So I’m doing horribly on my quest to try out a new recipe once a fort night. I’m doing excellent, however, on not buying any new soap and relying entirely on my supply of hotel freebies.

What does this say about me?

I’m excellent at fulfilling goals that require minimal effort and zero money. As for things that require time, funding and research … well, there’s some room for improvement.
