Dear Blog,
I’ve been neglecting you this week. I’m so sorry. It’s not your fault. Forgive me?
Dear Gym,
I miss you too.
Dear Doctor,
I haven’t been able to hear out of my right ear since I was out all day in the wind on Saturday. Do grown-ups get ear infections?
Dear English Language,
I hate it when people use “gift” as a verb. How can I make this stop?
Dear Santa,
If I promise to be really, really good for the next three weeks and not ask for anything ever, ever again, will the election turn out the way I hope?
Dear Guy with the Podcast on Improving Time Management,
When you tell me to shut everything off and do nothing for the next hour while I listen to you, I begin to suspect that you and I do not live in the same plane of reality. But when you tell me that your goal is to keep your inbox below 42 messages – and I have SEVEN – I realize that that the best time management is probably just shutting you off.
Dear News Media,
If I hear the phrase “Wall Street to Main Street” one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions. Fair warning.
Dear Jon Stewart,
I love you.
Dear Global Economic Crisis,
The only up side I can see is that it’s possible that you’ll push more companies with strapped marketing budgets into social media. Poverty breeds creativity, right? (In which case, judging by my latest 401(K) statement, I’m about to bust out in some Stephen-Hawking-level genius any moment now.)
Dear Pharmaceutical Industry,
It’s okay, you don’t need to figure it out anytime soon. We’ve got plenty of… oh wait.

Exciting news!
I’m speaking next Wednesday morning on a panel in a “Growing Your Business Through Social Media” seminar being put on by the Tech Council of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University. The panel is called “Social Network Superstar Case Studies,” which makes me blush.
I’ve attended social media seminars, and spoken to colleagues, clients, and clients’ colleagues on social media, but this is my first time participating on a panel, and I’m really, really excited to be doing it. We’ve had some preliminary conversations, and it’s going to be a really interesting group, with a great breadth of experience. And the whole morning’s programming sounds great - I can’t wait to get to sit in on it all.
If you’re in the area - Rockville, MD - on the 10th, please consider signing up. It’s between $49-129, which is a pretty great price for a half-day so/me discussion. (But do it soon, because there are only about 20 seats left till capacity!)

Just back from a gorgeous weekend away with people I’ve loved for decades and three babies-to-be, elegance and goofiness, laughing and crying, gourmet and junk, photo-junkie-ism and swing dancing, a run in the sun and fire on the river. Back to 400 unread HBC nominations, new paint up in the condo, the news that my cousin got married by a Buddhist monk when nobody was looking, and not nearly enough time to absorb it all.
Hopefully, that’ll come this week. Along with my first sparring tournament and wedding 5 of 5 this summer. Expect updates throughout it all.
In the meantime, I leave you with this question. Did you get enough of what makes you happiest this weekend?
