i’m sitting outside and my laptop battery is running low so this is going to be short.  also i just killed a small green bug on my computer and so now there is bug juice on the keyboard.  i didn’t mean to kill it, just wipe it away.  oops.

today i have witnessed many amazing things.  first, i was watching THE TODAY SHOW, as i do every morning, and a 13 year old girl said cunt, twice.  okay truth be told i missed the live, east coast feed but when MEREDITH later apologized for the vulgar use of language, i had to investigate (what did people do before the internet?).

also i went to a coffee shop to work and there was a group there studying talmud.  this made me blissfully happy.

there was a  group of people from various small non-profits having a “professional development” meeting.  it seemed they were talking about how to build a useful board, how to recruit new members, i could go on.  but largely they were talking about how no one ever came to these meetings and how maybe they should put together a survey to find out how to get more people to participate.  i wanted to scream – ” no one is going to answer your survey.”  but instead i just smiled to myself and thanked god my non-profit days are over…for now.
