I think dogs are the most amazing creatures...

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive. - Gilda Radner

Chicks, Man

A couple of years ago, Sam and I decided that we would no longer buy Christmas gifts...

If you have awakened from your turkey coma and are looking for a way to kill some time...

The single most wonderful thing I have seen in a long time

lion + trainer reunion = perfection

Happy Rossiversary

Life is full of enough unknowns...why take a risk when you don't have to?

Goodbye, Sweet Sugar

"Ask of the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth." - St. Francis of Assisi

Flattery will get you everywhere!

In spite of my uber-cranky exterior, I'm a sucker for a compliment.

In Awe

I'm still at the stage in my business where I'm a little giddy at the opportunity to work with someone or something with name recognition, and this is no exception.

A happy ending

I just received a wonderful email from Linda in Atlanta, mom to Glory Dog.

It really makes a difference

Seth Godin posted a piece today that really struck a chord with me about following up with customers. Not just following up in hot pursuit of another transaction, but following up because you really care.

Conscious Living, Conscious Leaving

A few months ago, I was contacted about providing TypePad support for a very unique project.

To be, or not to be

...an entrepreneur, that is. Pam Slim at Escape from Cubicle Nation has a thoughtful post on the distinctions between being self-employed and being an entrepreneur.

TropicalClinics and the Amazing Margaret Kilibwa

I'm breaking my self-imposed rule of not playing favorites for my latest launch: the web site for an organization called TropicalClinics.

I awoke with a start at 6:15 this morning

I thought I heard the phone ring, but it was just sitting there, silent, on my night table.

"...it is empowering to think of someone other than yourself."

U.S. Speedskater Joey Cheek put himself out there by announcing last month that if he won a gold medal in Turin, he would donate the $25,000 USOC bonus to Right to Play. Right to Play is a humanitarian organization that works to create "a healthier and safer world for children through the power of sport and play."

Thanks, Betty Friedan

Thanks for putting it out there that a women should aspire to her own separate identity as an individual.

Use Your Magic Wisely

I am so very moved this morning by a post at 37 Days, "Claim Your A."

Mystery Solved (and something to look forward too!)

About this time last year, I saw something in the newspaper announcing that David Sedaris would be at Flint Center in Cupertino in April. Sam and I had seen him read once before a couple of years ago, and we were terribly excited at the prospect of seeing him a second time. Funniest. Person. Ever.

Overwhelming Generosity

Sam and I spent this past Saturday volunteering at Family Giving Tree. Family Giving Tree collects gifts on behalf of 200 Bay Area social service organizations, which in turn distibute these gifts to over 55,000 needy children, seniors, and special needs adults in the area.

The Truth about Cats and Dogs

"We're talking real fire and brimstone here! Dogs and cats sleeping together! End of the world stuff!" (Bill Murray, Ghostbusters)

More Big Moo Love

Seth Godin posted the first fruit from The Big Moo's bounty...a brand new school for a village in Nepal! You can see the pictures on his blog.

My moo has been heard!

Seth Godin referenced my review of "The Big Moo" in his blog today, and used it to illustrate a point.

CoachVille: A Case of Mixed Emotions

I finally put my tormented relationship with CoachVille out of its misery last week.

Backup, backup, backup

Screw diamonds...backups are a girl's best friend.

Old-Fashioned Customer Service

Bear with me...another pet-related post here.

A Study in Contrast

Recent experiences have really driven home to me who gets it, and who doesn't, when it comes to dealing with customers. And the results might surprise you.
