First Post

I resisted the urge to blog yesterday and just relaxed. Finished up "The Tenth Muse" by Judith Jones about her life in food as the editor responsible for Julia Child, Edna Lewis and a slew of others. Nice little read for a "foodie" like me. The end of the book even has some recipes.
If the old saw about what you do on New Year's Day is a prediction for the rest of the year then 2008 will be the year of the sweats as that is a dressed as I got yesterday. Maybe 2008 will be quiet too.

I am officially off vacation today and back to work. Nothing really to do but I am back to work. I just have to wait for the dust to settle from the year end and then we can divide up the upcoming projects and I can earn my keep. One project that I wouldn't mind would be based in Palermo, Italy. I could stand 3 to 6 months there though I would have to ask for extra money so I could be a complete set of larger clothes but it would be fun. One I am trying to avoid is based in Brazil which I would not relish spending 6 months to a year in. Might be nice for a visit but an extended stay has no appeal, whatsoever. The rest are all domestic jobs...a couple in the Midwest (IL and MN) and even one here in Atlanta. We'll see what falls out.

Everyone get a great start on the New Year and we'll be back as soon as we figure out what is going on.
