It’s over….no more vacation for me (until next Friday…more on that later). Looking back, it was (overall) a rather restful break. Things didn’t always go as planned (NYC was a bust, sister-in-law back in the hospital and having surgery today)…but I did manage to catch up on sleep and just lay low.<\/P>
\n

And now I’m in my new office, in my new job and beginning the next chapter of my life and my career at Harvard.<\/P>
\n

Career. HMMM – I’ve never really thought of myself as having a career. I really just work. I mean, the architecture\/design degree would have led me to a “career” in that industry if I had stuck with it. But that’s not what I wanted (or enjoyed). HMMM – I guess what I have now is a career. I’ve been at Harvard over 5 years and have been promoted…sounds like a career path to me, I guess.<\/P>
\n

Anyway, when I start rambling I know it’s time to switch subjects.<\/P>
\n

The new Instinct Magazine arrived over the the break and they’ve changed the format a bit. It’s not bad…they’ve added section where they profile a gay blogger in each issue. HMMM – how do I get Instinct Magazine to discover MY blog?<\/P>
\n

Though, it appears that in addition to discussing your blog, the magazines also does a photo spread of the actual blogger…scantily clad with ample* flesh exposure. I’m not so sure I’ve got “the look” for that. Still, the offer would be nice! DAMMIT, Instinct…where’s my invitation?<\/P>
\n

OK – rambling again. Do you sense a pattern here?<\/P>
\n

Well, back to the first paragraph..I’m flying down to Washington, DC with Mike a week from Friday (Martin Luther King birthday weekend). We’ll be staying with my friend, Chris. I can’t wait….it’s been a year since I’ve been down there and I had a blast last time. I can’t believe how fast it crept up on me, though. I intended to order the plane tickets nearly a month ago but my superior procrastination capabilities got the best of me. We were ordering the plane tickets last night when I suddenly realized that it was next week. <\/P>
