Ever have a ballpark all to yourself? If not, I highly recommend it. AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. Personally I’d have gone with Wrigley but one can’t be picky. Behind the scenes tours (press boxes, locker rooms, dugouts, and the field itself) batting cages (batting average –…

Hello from San Francisco. I’m out here for a work related conference where they’ve put us up in the rather spiffy Palace Hotel in the heart of downtown. Surprisingly the trip out here wasn’t bad so hopefully that is a sign of things to come. The conference looks to be…

Last week a certain agent ran a query contest – for one hour (from 8am to 9am EST), she would accept any and all query letters to her e-mail address. In exchange, she would offer complete and honest feedback. I figured my query letter is polished so why the heck not? …

Steve Jobs, 1955 – 2011 It might seem odd to be memorializing the CEO of Apple Computers, a man whom I’ve never met, but not a day goes by where my life isn’t impacted by Steve Job’s vision. I arrived at Luther when OS X was first released. Prior to…

Yes, I’m still here. Life’s been busy on all fronts – work (Homecoming, a King & Queen visit, & the 150th Anniversary celebrations), running (1/2 marathon on Halloween), and gardening (crop harvested, cider pressed). Thankfully, most of that will ease off at the end of the month. That aside, there…
