@Anna-Liza: Wow on the IK thing! That’s huge!

@Amy Crook: A new Shivanaut! Yay! (don’t worry, it’s just that, for some reason, I get really excited when I find out about new Shivanauts!)

@Josh – Six is good. And … even if there are 49 quadrants … last time I took Latin “quad” still meant four. Pretty sure that hasn’t changed. So I’m going to stand by my original point which kind of got lost in the shuffle. And next time I do an expotition, will expand my range. :)

@Tori – oh, you can totally chicken on Saturday if you like. Full permission to spread it out over the weekend. The meme beach house is very lax about time!

@Jo – pigs and chickens! Pigs and chickens! Wow.

@Char – a full time job in Michigan? Seriously? That’s amazing. Wishing you good resolution with the sleeping thing and sending love.

My hard:
-Sleep issues: specifically not sleeping doesn’t work for me.

The good:
-my youngest got a full time job in MI – that’s a miracle. More miracles – he loves it too and can transfer to another office when he goes back to school in the fall and work part time.
-my oldest met Obama, Michelle and the kids at a benefit put on by Operation Purple (who help the kids and spouses of our troops) and Feed America. They packed up 25,000 backpacks for these kids to go to summer camp – lots of press there but it was overshadowed by Michael Jackson’s passing. Life changing though for my son who now knows what makes his heart sing with respect to his unique gift to share with the world.
-figuring out how to get some sleep and identifying the non-sleeping pattern.

On the whole, an amazingly miraculous week – especially watching the kids figure out what they really love to do and doing it!

Also, I think you lost that wonderful post because somehow we weren’t ready to read it. So maybe it’ll come back later.

And business is slow. V. slow. though one university client contacted me yesterday.

My car died on the way to the airport to drop my daughter off for her big summer expotition (to Scotland and England). The day after we’d spend $400 fixing the exhaust. I hope it is something simple like the coolant and not something complicated like the fuel pump.

The good: I have pigs! and chickens! and they are very cool. And seem to be easy to take care of.

The hard: Just a grindingly busy week and feeling way overwhelmed. The significant-whichever is having an equally difficult work week and the puppy (who is almost not a puppy at all anymore) is not letting me sleep in – and I oh so need to sleep in.

The good: A major software release has just solved several of my problems, and more soon-to-come additions to it promise to solve more:) And my membership site keeps selling in spite of the fact that I’m not promoting it one bit and I haven’t fixed the sales page yet.. so that makes me smile. And and and… I got Havi’s testimonials thing and have started digging into it, and THAT is seriously fun.

And boo for everyone else’s bad stuff, and yay for everyone else’s good stuff, but I don’t have time to say more because I have to hit send or this won’t be a Friday Chicken but a Saturday Stew, or Stu, or…. something meme-beach-ish.

The hard. So many interpersonal problems and so much talking. I’m exhausted and it’s so hot, which is also exhausting. Today I just had to get away for the day, which leads to the good. I got away, by myself! It was wonderful and freeing and empowering. Suddenly I felt like I could conquer the world. By the time I got home, everything was approaching normality again.

Except that the Willamette curves and takes a dive to the west, which leaves part of Portland in an awkward position. If the Willamette were straight, it would be in the NW quadrant. But the Willamette curves, so this section is east of the Willamette, but it’s west of the geographical line the Willamette would have made if it were straight, like the ruler-bearers who laid out this city wish it was.

So if it’s kind of NW and kind of NE, what should we call it? NW!!! No – NE!!!. I know – we’ll compromise – we’ll call it, just plain N.

And thus was born north portland. NoPo. The fifth quadrant in the world’s greatest city.

The punchline: Bad news, ducky. Portland has six quadrants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon
