- My new job. I’m still weirded out by the fact that I haven’t “done” much since I arrived … but when the place you’re going to is about 10 to 15 times larger than the place you’ve just left, one could expect the learning curve to be a bit steep. My first two weeks have been spent thoroughly researching the foundation, its affiliates and all of the departments and programs we support, and starting to build a web strategy that will help the foundation continue to raise buckets of money for health education and research at the University (today the CEO said the “b” word — as in “billion.”)
- Michael Buble in concert at Orchestra Hall. This boy can sing. But he’s more than a singer — he’s a true entertainer. The best part about the evening (aside from the fact that we were in the second(!) row) was that I kept the concert secret from Roger until we arrived at the concert hall. He was pleasantly surprised.
- An evening with Davy Rothbart of Found Magazine. Davy read some of his favorite finds from his three magazines and new book, and also read those that he’s picked up on his 50-state “slapdance tour across America” this summer. Roger and I, unfortunately, didn’t have any finds to contribute to the cause (I’m still kicking myself for not picking up the hand-scrawled note I found on a cardboard box in a garbage can on the streets of a pristine townhome development that said something about the edibility of the green banana pudding as if written to the next homeless person that would stop by looking for his next meal). But we’ll keep looking.
That’s it for a life update. We’re looking forward to the big wedding of R & P this upcoming weekend!
