in my cd player... Franklin Bruno A Bedroom Community   on the page... Arthur Golden Memoirs of a Geisha   into... Franklin Bruno; drinking on a Tuesday; lois, lois, all-consuming lois; deleting Todd's obsessive voice mails   finally... Tickets purchased. No backing out now. LA Michael and Jolene are coming to Boston for the whirlywind 2.5 day tour. Five years in the making. Their first time along Northern Atlantic shores. Oh the excitement.   pith on demand... While trying to brainstorm pithy phrases to describe future trends in communication, Laine and I completely broke down into a giggling fit, involving a Spanish dictionary, our favorite member of 98 Degrees, elephants, and Cosmo. That's what drinking on a Tuesday night will do.   a brilliant idea... Have I mentioned how much I love this new writing desk?   a festivus vestivus... Monday marked five years at MEDITECH. Vesting and such... except I quit and already cashed in my retirement. But over dinner, everyone else had the glow of people finally freed of their golden handcuffs. Congratulations to Todd, Erika, Jeremy, Alison, Cristina, and Cheryl for muddling through.
