barrington99@gmail.com So this morning I thought I’d take a few minutes to add a couple new links (see sidebar). However, in the process, I think I accidentally erased a chunk of code at the top of my page…so that when I published, the page was naked code, with no formatting, really yucky. My HTML is really … Read more
I have now been tagged twice for a meme that asks me to post 5 things that people probably don’t know about me. Once by my friend Sandra and the other by my friend Matt, who has the Zotblog…but who also has this blog where he actually posted his five things. One is that when … Read more

It happens every couple years that I decide yes, I will do Christmas cards, but I don’t alway get all the way through the task.

So far there is just one problem: Two of these classes, the fiction and the non-fiction workshops, meet on the same night at the same time. Because of … Read more

Last night I went to one called “Fundraising and Development” taught through the Public Administration Department. It was pretty interesting.
