[...] I did have a nominal reason for attending: to see and hear Steven Shapiro (ENGR, ‘86) talk about his book and philosophy, Goal-Free Living. After all, with my twin pursuits of punditry and ultra-organization, it was only natural that I want to see, up close and personal, someone who is not only living his non-goals, but getting other people to sit up and take notice.

Any progress with the genius naming book? I read an older version from the library and find myself with perhaps more skepticism than when I started.

I’m interested in hearing what you got out of it if you’ve gotten around to reading it…

Colleen - keep me up to date, will you please, about your work to recognize your genius? I do love the stories people tell, and often refer to them at my blog.

“…nothing** has proved as rewarding as writing this stupid blog.”

I know just what you mean. I look forward to your nudgings as well, since I’m also trying to figure out what’s best to do with my life.

I tried doing a trackback but I guess Typepad is having its problems. Anyway ... I found the blog and post easy to identify with. So I rambled a bit on my blog.

Maybe the reason I went through hell and made it through to the other side was to show other people how they could get there, only without the hell part. Or if they’re in the hell part, maybe I could help them see the gently air-cooled room at the other end of it.

Somehow, you’ve nailed on the head my impulse to share. How perfectly stated.

You might as well post 3x, Michael. Nothing else on this goddamned site is working right lately.

No one should really worry about me going all Nelson Mandela on people; I have neither the elegance nor the temperament. I swear like a drunken sailor, drink like a motherfucking sailor and fall down a lot. Which is by way of saying, I am too much of a goof to take myself totally seriously.

Besides, if we lost funny Colleen, how would Fred get his Christmas wish?

Hey, what do you say I click on “post” for a third time? Whee!

Looking forward to your nudgeries! Although don’t you think that your funny postings are a way of sharing too? (But please don’t do that Woody Allen thing of not respecting what a wonderful thing it is to give people a smile or a giggle. And what a gift it is to be able to do that for people. We love our funny Communicatrix too!) Still, looking forward to your tips, rants, and harangues. Colleen rules, whether straightfaced or wearing her clown mask.
