  • I Cried In Grant Park

    I'm a crier. Sappy chick flick? I cry. Feel good sports movie? I cry. Stupid commercial where the dad's carrying his kid on his shoulders in the back yard and they're trying to catch fireflies? I cry.

    At real-life events it's particularly difficult to maintain my composure. When I see someone striving for, and achieving, something they believe in my eyes water up and my nose gets red. During the Chicago Marathon I spent the whole morning sniffling.

    Over the last three days I've spent approximately 32 hours at the computer (and it's only 5:00).

  • Ready, Set, GO!

    As TLT's founder/editor/writer/marketer/tech department/pr firm/office manager/janitor, I have an extremely busy schedule. 80 to 90 hour weeks are common. As any entrepreneur knows that's to be expected and since I love what I do it's more like play than work.
    This week, however, is over the top. I mean insane. Like I'm going to need three massages, 2 vacations, one on a beach, one on a mountainside, neither with Internet access or cell service but with LOTS of books, make that four massages and throw in a cabana boy and a lumberjack.
