Another good fortune cookie. If only it wealth were that easy.

Work hard and you will become more wealthy.

Hit up the tag “fortune cookies” for other fortune cookies.

Another great TED clip I watched the other day. The power of time off. While taking time off to recharge is something that is often thought/ talked about by employers I get a feeling most people believe it’s “the man” preaching to “look good” to their employees. I’ll admit, I’ve felt that way before. Historically, I have not thought such an amount of time off is warranted in most positions (including mine, despite how much I may want it), however I have see how powerful it can by through my aunt, Helen Milner, who is a professor. That said, maybe Stefan has a point, as people are working longer into their lives in modern western society maybe it makes sense to consider breaking up those 40+ years of career work with a sabbatical year every so often in return for fewer retired years.

I know I’ll start thinking about planning a sabbatical year in the next decade.

The blizzard of 2010 (aka Snowpocalypse 2010)

Over the weekend DC was hit by a massive blizzard dumping up to 30 inches of snow across the region (for those of you who don’t already know). I chose to stay warm indoors and not venture out in the blizzard or travel too far around the city. After the snow stopped falling on Saturday afternoon I ventured out around my neighborhood. Below is a slide show I snapped with my pocket camera as I and the neighborhood frolicked in all the new snow (lots of sledding). Nothing fancy or artistic.
