Too nasty to be outside.  Avery supervised while I took everything out of the refrigerator, scrubbed the inside and shelves, replaced most everything.  A clean refrigerator and a nap were our accomplishments for the day.

I get some really weird trackbacks here. * Wow!  It’s been a long time since I was the one to lock up the office at the end of the day.

Mr.B and I took a “Quiet Your Mind” class at my gym.  Part TaiChi, part meditation.  In the warm candle lit therapy pool with live flute music.  It was lovely.  Did I tell you how I kicked his butt at Scrabble this past weekend?

Caribou Coffee #30.  I’m having trouble resisting the urge to buy their stock.  As soon as it’s looking like it won’t wreck havoc with my portfolio, I’m going to do it!  Or, when it drops to $8.  I know these should not be emotional decisions.

“Fragile Things” by Neil Gaiman

by Matilda on 02.20.07 at 10:14 AM See more in Reading •

An extraordinary collection of short stories which showcase Gaiman’s storytelling brilliance as well as his entertaining (and dark) sense of humor. By turns delightful, disturbing, and diverting, Fragile Things is a gift of literary enchantment from one of the most unique writers of our time.

I find it humorous the AntiSpam software Rent-A-Geek installed on our server filters out their very own invoices and statements as spam.  * As of today I’m going to keep the entire day in one box.  Not only might it make things easier for those of you who just can’t get with the new program here, but it eliminates my having to come up with a title for each entry.

Mr.B and I took a Partner Yoga class at my gym.  A pleasant way to connect on a Saturday afternoon.  Followed by a burger at Snuffy’s, a place I remember fondly from when the boys were young.

“The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell

by Matilda on 02.14.07 at 07:52 PM See more in Reading •

In this brilliant and groundbreaking book, New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Ideas, behavior, messages, and products, he argues, often spread like outbreaks of infectious disease. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a few fare-beaters and graffiti artists fuel a subway crime wave, or a satisfied customer fill the empty tables of a new restaurant. These are social epidemics, and the moment when they take off, when they reach their critical mass, is the Tipping Point.  In The Tipping Point, Gladwell introduces us to the particular personality types who are natural pollinators of new ideas and trends, the people who create the phenomenon of word of mouth. He analyzes fashion trends, smoking, children’s television, direct mail, and the early days of the American Revolution for clues about making ideas infectious, and visits a religious commune, a successful high-tech company, and one of the world’s greatest salesmen to show how to start and sustain social epidemics.  The Tipping Point is an intellectual adventure story written with an infectious enthusiasm for the power and joy of new ideas. Most of all, it is a road map to change, with a profoundly hopeful message, that one imaginative person applying a well-placed lever can move the world.

by Matilda on 02.14.07 at 07:47 PM See more in Reading •

Master storyteller Walter Wangerin, Jr. makes the Bible come alive in vivid detail with The Book of God, his passionate, exciting dramatization of the events and people of the Scriptures. Recreating the high drama, low comedy, gentle humor, and awe-inspiring holiness of the Biblical narrative, Wangerin reveals the humanity and eternal messages behind the text. Imaginative yet meticulously researched, The Book of God is a sweeping history that covers thousands of years and hundreds of lives, in a myriad of foreign yet familiar cultures. The award-winning Wangerin, one of our most respected and beloved contemporary writers, has produced his magnum opus, a timeless masterpiece that rekindles the imagination and nurtures the spirit.
