After using blogger as the publisher for this site for a few years, I decided to try out WordPress and this is the result. I still have a bit of work to do to clean up old posts, fix some links, etc..

I made the switch for a couple of main reasons - categories (or ‘tags’) to better organize my posts; and integrated search (I used an external search mechanism on the previous site iteration). I know blogger released a new version recently, but WordPress seemed like it would do the trick moving forward.

I ran across a reference to “Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time,” by Brian Tracy, in one of my many magazines and found the title intriguing enough for a follow up.  I stopped by the local library and saw that it was available, wasn’t too terribly long, and decided to check it out. 

Unfortunately, it sat on my desk for a few weeks and I only decided to pick it up when I got the library courtesy reminder that it was due in a few days (how’s that for procrastination…).

I finally found some time to start and polish it off today (it’s only a 113 pages, so it’s a quick read).

The title refers to an old saying that states that if the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that it’s probably the worst thing you’ll do all day. Overall. it’s pretty straightforward and direct and there’s nothing terribly revolutionary here - just some common sense, logic and discipline.

Our first measurable snow arrived on the 1st of December. The girls reveled in a snow day (no school!) and everyone just basically hunkered down inside and stayed warm. I also took this as a sign to change to my snow tires on the wagon.
