With a background in Architectural Design, I am currently looking to expand my design expertise and start a career in the marketing and advertising fields.  I believe that my background in Architecture uniquely qualifies me for a position with Red Beret Design…As a Project Designer for an Architecture firm, I have had the opportunity to [...]

Hallelujah

February 1st, 2009 · No Comments

This illustrated article in the NY Times is just so beautiful. It expresses the hope and joy people feel about the new administration. The very notion of using the term “hope and joy” in a political context strikes me as odd. On a personal level, I love and admire the illustrations. One of my creative [...]

An old chestnut

November 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Jon Carroll wrote a new Thanksgiving column! He has reprinted the same one every year for many years, changing only one line in which he mentions particular public figures in the news that year. His traditional column captures pretty much everything that’s great about this holiday. His current one can be found here (if it’s [...]

It runs in the family

November 26th, 2008 · 3 Comments

In my “about me” page, I refer to the “mysterious Virginia branch of the family.” They are a mystery no more—I am now in touch with one of my cousins, who has filled me in on my many other cousins, a few dozen of whom live a mere 3 hours up I-85 in Richmond. I [...]

Handy networking tip

October 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Don’t get your business card printed on some super-glossy paper, or cool-looking vellum, that is IMPOSSIBLE to write on, so when I come across your card 8 months from now, instead of my little scribbled note to jog my memory about where I met you, I’ll just say WTF? and toss your card in the [...]

How’s that working for you, John?

October 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments

In the last 3 days, the headlines from AP and Reuters (on my my.yahoo page), have been an interesting juxtaposition (headlines paraphrased): Obama Up 2 Points McCain criticizes Obama’s link to ex-radical . . Obama Up 4 Points MCain again raises Obama’s ties with 1970s radical . . Obama up 5 Points McCain TV ad [...]

A Well-Deserved Award

September 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Congratulations to Jon Carroll of the San Francisco Chronicle, who has been selected as the 2009 Ernie Pyle Lifetime Achievement Award recipient by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. I’ve been reading Jon daily since his column first caught my eye some time in the 80s with his musings along the lines of “What if [...]

Life Imitates Satire

September 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I couldn’t help imagining, while watching this… …how I would react to it if this were not Sarah Palin and Katie Couric, but two comedians on Saturday Night Live. It’s damn funny! It is sad and also terrifying that her interview works as satire. I’ve never watched much of Katie Couric, but I am impressed [...]

Catch-22

September 6th, 2008 · 3 Comments

On United, you can print your boarding passes out 24 hours before your flight. Since I had paid with miles and Barry paid with cold hard cash, we had purchased our flights separately, but since you can now choose your own seat assignments, we got seats together. After we printed out our passes, we discovered [...]

Wow, I’m so great

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

According to today’s junk mail solicitations, I am one of “our country’s most accomplished women” and part of “a small, select group of creative professionals.” Please, please, don’t send accolades. Send money. Share on Facebook
