Why in the world would a busy woman agree to write a regular blog? Well, it seems the busier you are, the more you are able to accomplish. At least that’s what I’ve been told. I’ve also been told I’m crazy.
In the past week I’ve started and stopped at least a half-dozen posts. They dot my desktop, taunting me to finish what I started. So today’s post is more of a view inside my head. Apparently I have an opinion on everything! (Again, so I’ve been told – and not always as a compliment).
Here are some of the ideas that have flitted through my mind recently:

*Fluke. My son and I love to fish and most weekends you’ll find us down at Captree, lugging our gear and enough clothes so that we can adapt to any weather condition, boarding a party boat for a day of fishing and fun. Fluke is a summer flounder, and the DEC has deemed that they must be at least 20.5 inches to keep. These fish are not stupid. They seem to stop growing at 19.5 and just get fatter. Why did the DEC pick 20.5? Where are they really getting their data? That’s probably the basis for a good investigative story in the Long Island Press.
*Friendship. My good friend, and former client, Jeff Zaslow, has written several major bestselling books, the last one about a group of women from Ames, Iowa who have been friends for forty years. I have two really good friends, Ellen and Jayne, whom I’ve known since childhood, and we’ve been together, on and off, through all the ups, downs, joys, and tragedies that any three people can experience. Really good friendships are hard to come by; I am so lucky.

*Osama bin Laden. I’m glad he’s gone. He was a horrible man. But I’m ill-at-ease with the raucous celebrations that followed. We should be thoughtful. We should never forget. No more Hitlers, no more bin Ladens. I don’t know about dancing-in-the-street celebrations though.
*Entrepreneurship. I’m absolutely loving it!
*Brain Tumor Awareness Month. It’s this month. If only any of Rob’s doctors had listened to me and not blown me off he wouldn’t be going through what he’s going through now.
*Learning to say no. Ahhh. . . this might go back to the first sentence – ha!
