In theory, Julys are slow but it’s picked up around here. I hope that’s a sign of the economy recovering. I think people have decided it’s gotten as bad as it will so it’s time to start moving forward after having recalibrated. I remain behind. Typical. It’s time to turn it up a notch.

Maybe you saw the article in which I was quoted for the NYT, I posted about it. Bloggers do that. We want to make sure you know how smart you are to invest your time reading our stuff. I spoke to the reporter at length. Hers is not a job I want; it’s an incredible amount of work and then after it’s published, a lot of people says hateful things about you (not that she said that, I googled her). She didn’t write 1/20th of what she had to have learned from writing that story, that I knew about anyway from talking to her. Writing is easy, sit down and open a vein (via).

It rained nicely here last week. This week, all the grass decided to reseed itself -a good idea in my opinion. I cut Ms. Humming’s Nest out of the tree. I have it in my office. I have bare studs on one wall with some horizontal bracing, making for shallow, irregularly shaped cubbies. I put her nest in one of those.

…and if you want to catch up with some of this week’s resources from the archives, here’s your chance. Have a great weekend.
