    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Simplicity rules.

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Toby Getsch

This past month I moved across the country, back to the Seattle, Washington area.  I love it here!  And, I’m glad to be back. This trip back was done with everything I own able to fit into my truck with the top carrier.  It was not really that tight of a fit.  That’s mostly because I [...]

sticky posts

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Toby Getsch

In the interest of generating conversation and helping spur writing ideas, I’m using a new feature called “sticky posts” that keeps a specific post stuck to the front page.  I’m sure I’ll learn many other ways to use this.  Right now I think it’s a cool idea and a nice way to feature content.

Summer’s Gallant Prose

Posted on August 12, 2008 by Toby Getsch

As I sit in the back yard, I notice the various homes around me, the various yards, the various fences and sheds.  I notice things, things that normally would not matter and may not matter much now, but I notice them. There are little rabbits.  There are squirrels, squirrels that sneak up on trees and [...]

Podcasts and Inspirations and Minnesota

Posted on July 23, 2008 by Toby Getsch

I’m listening to Garrison Keillor’s The Writer’s Almanac.  It was easy to fetch via iTunes and have it sync on my new iPhone.  I’m inspired, both by the ease with which this technology works, and by the soothing voice of Garrison Keillor.  It just seams to put things in perspective… you know, Lake Wobegon and [...]

mini funk

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Toby Getsch

So, I’m in Minnesota.  I surprised my mom for Mother’s Day.  I had my knee surgery.  Physical Therapy is going great.  I’ve spent good time with most friends and family that are around.  But, I’m in this mini funk.  Why? I think it’s because I’ve been so geared up to GO, GO, GO for so [...]
