I'll take Danielle Bertrand over Bertrand Russell Any Day

That made absolutely no sense, but it was meant to make my dear friend Danielle smile, all the way out in the UK.

The Ask Me Questions game is getting interesting - thanks for the questions Al, it kind of felt like a punch to the gut. Will answer them soon. As for the other questions (posted in the comments section of the Cool Design photo), they made me feel wonder and sadness at the same time. How's that for an answer, whoever you are?

I am swamped, fully and completely swamped. I stayed at work until 11:30 p.m. last night, took a cab home, got up early and cabbed it back to work early for some big meeting I have today. Then a business lunch at the Chateau Laurier with a bunch of older men - why aren't there ever any other women there with me? Then a two-hour follow-up consultation with my new chiropractor at 6 p.m., who thinks I have serious damage in my neck and lower back. The x-rays will confirm whether this is true or not. Then rush back home to do some work on a report I have to hand in to the Dept. of CDN Heritage by the end of this week, which I have not really started. And that's only half of it. Man, will I be glad when the week is over and done with. As of April 14 I will have finished everything school-related and will begin working full-time on April 18. But I will have a nice weekend visit to Toronto on the weekend of April 16 before I start working every day again. I will be staying with Julie and putting some quality sister time in, and maybe see Mike sometime during my visit.

I allowed myself a quick 'blog break' to catch my breath, but I should get back to work now. Will try to keep Al's questions in mind as I work, trying to find more meaning in this rush-rush-rush race I'm in to get everything finished on time...
