Pulling My Talking Shoes Out

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

I should probably have done this earlier. Don’t they say something about better late than never?

Right, then. I have a hectic couple of weeks coming up with no less than four conferences in two weeks (probably baby food for some, but for me, that’s a lot). If you’re going to be at any, I’d love to say hello in person.

The Darby Chronicles: Part III

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s a holiday weekend, the weather’s beautiful (at least here in DC)… all should be well with the world, right?

Unfortunately, for a lovely 7-year-ish female German Shepherd in Portland, Ore., who recently lost her “dad,” it’s not quite perfect yet.

If you’re getting up to speed on the Darby situation, I’ve included links to my earlier posts on Darby at the bottom of this one, so do read those first.

It’s not all gloom and doom. My Tweeps have continued to spread the word and are still sending me resources […]
