A Perfect Afternoon for me

is spent with my pal Matt - doing chores and crossing things off the list. It is such a nice experience spending time with someone who gives with all his heart. He carries the heavy load and doesn't complain, he picks up the garbage without being asked and takes it to the outside receptacle, he closes the ironing board (that has been sitting for weeks in the the middle of room) and then he asks what else he can do.

And he makes me smile and makes other people burst out laughing when I tell what he said. "Is there something you want to say to me this afternoon, after I helped you with your chores?" Of course, I should be saying Thank you Thank you Thank you. Thank you for a great day

Check out my Pal!

He is the Jam!

The End or is it the Beginning?

my final project is a wiki for the library that I started working in 6 weeks ago. My training was on the fly due to the summer rush and I thought a place to store all the information would be helpful to me as well as my colleagues (everyday I come home with piles of paper full of questions, answers and exceptions so now I have a place to put all that information)

it is just the beginning as there are things to add and suggestions - hopefully - to include so here it is:

MY PLACE IN THE WORLD

Sharon has inspired me to comment....

I loved Sharon's sports analogy of rounding third.....it does feel like there is a light at the end of tunnel.

I just cannot believe we've covered so much in such a short period of time. Did we really setup Meebo accounts? Seems like years ago. And twitter? Twit what? I just logged in and there seem to be only a few diehard twitters.

I think with each thing I learned, I replaced the previous item unless we used it. I would definitely forget bloglines except I go to it constantly. I'm sure I'll use Flickr but still haven't grasped the value of del.icio.us unless you are sharing a lot. Especially when the best sites have feed widgets so I have them in bloglines. But I guess I don't want a feed from everything.....but access just in case. Still getting my head around all this.

I loved playing with the videos this weekend....I think mainly because I could immediately share and get others involved in the process. My neighbors got a kick out of their video debut and really liked seeing themselves on youtube. They also liked a few of the other "educational" videos like "raisin boats".

I believe the best solution for me will be to teach all these skills to someone else very quickly. As I review the steps and help someone else, I will obtain a partner to share tools with, perhaps to twitter with. The more people I teach, the better I recall the interrelationships which are like spaghetti sometimes.

Okay, I'm tripping over homebase and I forgot to touch third. I'm in trouble now.
