Dave’s Place / Metamusing

…A very frazzled me. It’s been a rough week. Last Friday I got Soolin. She’s gorgeous and an absolute blast, but she places HUGE demands on my time. To give you a sense of it, I haven’t played a single videogame since I got her, and I’ve read less than 50 pages in the novel I’m working on. Meanwhile I had an opportunity Monday to present to a large group of Skidmore faculty for the first time which I was a bit apprehensive about (it all went well) and spent a ton of time preparing for, and then this coming Monday classes start so I had a ton of prep work for the upcoming semester. All this adds up to an extremely busy and frazzled me, with no time to play, post to my weblog, or exercise. It’s all worth it of course, the dog is a joy and despite some launch of semester troubles things went well enough that most faculty are both content and all set. I’ll post some pictures of Soolin this weekend in the gallery and perhaps catch up on some posts I wanted to make here, I’ve got email to deal with first though, and a dog to walk every hour or so, today in potentially -20 degree blizzard conditions.
