Spread the word to end the r-word

Today is an event to raise awareness of the r-word--retard--that people tend to use callously and unconsciously. I wince every time I hear someone say it, especially when kids say it. There are better words to use, words that don't hurt people with cognitive impairments and differences.

New year, new look

Decided to apply a new template for the blog. Maybe this will make me more inclined to post, the way that buying new workout clothes is supposed to make one more inclined to exercise. We shall see.

A post, a post!

January 2010--hard to believe we're already here. Once again, it has been six months since my last post, so the guilt finally caught up with me. I will post a highlights of 2009 letter within the week. For tonight, let me just say that I am very happy that today was the last day of Christmas break, and big H goes back to school tomorrow. Taking care of my two kids makes paid work look like a walk in the park. Which is one of the big reasons I still work, albeit only about 10 hours each week.

Everybody have a great week. More soon.
