Way cool on the Alexa thingy! In a week of otherwise alarming downward trends, your good news is…GOOD NEWS!

And the news about the writer’s retreat w/Jennifer Louden is EVEN GOOD(er) NEWS!!!

Re the roundup thingy — neither you nor Thelma strike me as being particularly giddy-up-ish, so the rodeo theme seems kind of odd.

This thing you do on Fridays seems more like an omnibus kind of thing. (Look it up, you’ll see what I mean.)

(OK, to help you look it up — here’s something from Wikipedia: “Omnibus, in which data on a wide variety of subjects is collected during the same interview…”)

A fantastic, psychedelic, duck-flavored technicolor omnibus…

I wonder what your designer could do with something like THAT?

I am now considering getting rid of all the chairs in my house.

The workshop in New Mexico sounds like a great experience. Sounds like something I could use. I checked out Jennifer’s website and it sounds like it’s only for women. If they ever do a co-ed or man’s version let me know.

Oh yeah…definitely the cowboy theme. I’m from Texas. I’m a transplant, but have come to enjoy the cowboy theme.

Oh Havi, thanks for the shout out and LOVE the corporate idea… and LOVE Alexa rating for you (Mark told me) although I barely knew what it was, I did know it was COOL.

So loving your work – listened to Emergency Calming today and had a big good cry.

I can help out on the origins of “mad as a hatter”. You know about the Alice in Wonderland reference, right? And at that time (what is it? 19th century) they used a lot of funky chemicals to make hats (hatter: makes hats, I think; though so does millener). And the hats kind of made people who breathed them all day a bit nuts, hence mad (which is an English word for crazy)

That sitting all day thing has got to be a pita for more than just you. And some folks learn better when moving so maybe there is more than just a Calm on the Go thing needed. Maybe ideas for running that kind of workshop in a more kinesthetic way.

Just so y’all don’t think I’m a big huge liar, Alexa just went up again so it’s no longer the gloriously (sorry, glorrrrrriously low number I gave you). Oh, the fickle love. I guess I won’t leave my gentleman friend for you, Alexa you inconstant slut.

Where’s that post I wrote about releasing the need for outside legitimacy? I should reread that.

Anyway …

@Karen – Yay! That is all good news.

@Deb – Wow, food for thought indeed. Thank you for that. That’s super interesting. And yeah, we were talking about Toyota all week since MP is obsessed with them. Very cool.
