    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives.

It’s particularly interesting to me because I just had a discussion with a good friend.  That discussion was directly about this topic and how we have different viewpoints and different aspects of this topic in our lives.
I’m listening.

Status Updates

I just added this as my Facebook status.  “Toby is quagmire laden, feeling morose, exhausted, refreshed, enlightened, verbose, confused, capable, smart, hungry, thirsty, and finally some enchanted melancholy.”

In 2008,  when I go to coffee shops around the Seattle, WA area, as I try to veg [...]

1st money spent in 2008

I’m at Starbucks.  I’m curious.  I wonder how many people spend their first dollars of the year at Starbucks.  I bet that number would amaze, both for number of people and number of dollars.
