Hey all of you - long time no post from all. How is everyone? I got up this morning at 3am and could not get back to sleep. I have a big event at work today that has been a ton of stress - can't wait until this day is over. I was the project manager on a 2 hour continuing legal education class about Gender Bias. We have 4 expert panelists, 3 actors (performing selected scenes and transcripts) and a moderator that leads discussions that jump off of the scenes and transcripts that are read. It is live with 200 registered participants PLUS it is shot with a 3 camera crew and streamed live on the web to over 100 participants PLUS it is recorded for rebroadcasting. There are so many elements that could fail - so it is a bit stressful. It is one of those things where if it is great I will get NO recognition BUT if it fails I will get all the blame -- kinda sucks -- but I still love it. I just need to figure out how to not have it stress me out so much. I got up because I was running the entire course of the day in my head.

Anyway -- other things are great. I am still head over heels for Aaron and I leave for Chicago on Friday to stay with him for a week. He is really a lovely man -- I hope we do ok in the same place. We talk on the phone ALL the time and email constantly. He is a great communicator and an absolute gentleman. I don't know how it could be that I have turned down this road of luck -- I just hope it continues. I am going to enjoy the ride regardless. We already have April planned when he comes up for the first weekend. We will be going out with his parents on Friday night and then on Saturday MY parents...can you believe it?

Not much else -- how are you surviving the snow Kathy and Kristen? How is the heat Roh and how was your Bday? We will have to try to get a skype call in again in the next few weeks - especially after I get back from Chicago :)!

Miss you all - keep in touch and give my love to your families.
