Feeling much more ambitious and open today. I think a good nights sleep helped. Phoebe still has a cold, but is feeling better.

I suddenly thought of Mike O's tirade about women:
"every noticed how women have to update you every second of the day on how they are feeling. I'm hot, I'm cold. I feel a bit crampy. Are you cold? My toe hurts. I think my hair needs to be cut..."

It always makes me laugh. I know, some people will think its chauvanistic, but with the Mike O voice its funny.

I've been getting a lot of work done at work recently. It feels good to have integrity with my job. even if I'm leaving (especially if I'm leaving?), it feels good to get a lot done. Today though, I didn't get so much done. Avoidence.

I found a neat website Workers on Wheels. It started me thinking again about writing. The website owner publishes a newsletter and has several e-books. I've ordered a few ebooks this year online--one fiction book that turned out to be terrible, a packet of info regarding car buying--highly useful, a lot of info for my money, and I ordered the books off this woman's website. Her books were ok--I guess for the price, you get what you pay for. I was a bit annoyed that they were so short. The main thing was though that they are a handy compilation of information. One of my business ideas for my future is basically information packaging--I've always been drawn to researching and providing information to people. I think ebooks may be a way for me to implement the idea. I have an idea that ebooks may end up a hard sell though if people don't provide a lot of good quality in them. I think if you do the Amazon thing of providing more detail about what is in the book and also have free services, like an email list or newsletter or something, it may help.
