Thinking

I've been doing a lot of thinking these days, in all my vast free time. I have decided that life is too short for lollygagging and that I need to shake things up a bit. So I'm going to (try to) quit worrying about my state of employment and have some fun. I'm going to connect with friends that I've been missing for a couple years, I'm going to travel, and I'm going to work on more of my "projects", like my new website idea.

But before I head out the door to drink the wild air, I have a few loose ends to tie up. Mainly, I have to attend a charrette tonight and tomorrow in my hometown. A charrette is a design workshop that is really useful for visioning. My little town is trying to be proactive about sprawl and change planning and zoning laws to avoid ending up like Southeast Michigan (esp. the Highland Lakes area, that has to be the ugliest, sprawliest part of Michigan!) Anyway, I'm excited to see how the locals like the charrette. I'll post something about it in the next few days.
