Back to Work

It's actually good to be back at work. I love my job, so that makes it easier, but more likely I think the reason is that my legs are just happy to be sitting still under my desk instead of working so hard on the ski slopes. They need a break!

At work, I'm invigorated by new ideas, perspective, and challenges. I'm hoping that some of my work in IBM Learning can fold into President Obama's and VP Biden's new task force to help the Middle Class grow stronger. It may sound a bit cliche, but I want to make a difference.

Last night my book club discussed our latest reads, The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from my Father. Our president makes some points that shows he really gets it: on religion and its place in government, on knowledge workers and the economy, on the responsibilities of citizens and corporations. I hope he can make some changes fast, and quell the Right by continuing to appeal to the idea of bipartisanship. It makes sense! The polarization in this country has gotten us into a world of trouble. We all need to cooperate, and responsibility often involves sacrifice.
