Treking

Hiking has always been something I have enjoyed.Hiking in the rain at Delaware water gap was the icing on the cake.I have made a check list of essential things that I would take on my next hike.
1.A bottle of water with some tang.
2.Lots of candy for energy.
3.A mini first aid kit.
4.A hat(protection from rain and the heat)
5.Finally my favorite snack or a sandwich to devour at the end of the hike.

All that Jazz!

I have a mission for winter.

"Employment at Will" is a Loaded line.
Any hiring is presumed to be "at will"; that is, the employer is free to discharge individuals "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all," and the employee is equally free to quit, strike, or otherwise cease work.

An Artist

This piece that I read somewhere summarizes a true artist.

"The often irreconcilable choices we make between doing what we love and what we are expected to do, what earns money and keeps the family in comfort. This is perhaps not really an issue for those whose talent burns bright, whose abilities illuminate clearly and unambiguously the road they should travel down. But for the rest of us, torn as we are between confronting the limitations of our not-quite-brilliant abilities, the expectations of our families, the brutal realities of the economics of living and the often soul-numbing dreariness of the alternatives, it is not so easy.

So it is all the more that I admire an artist, for each has chosen, or is thinking about choosing, a path which by no means has an assured pot of gold at the end, no steady, structured climb up a corporate ladder (which of course comes with its own pitfalls) or into an academic ivory tower. Yet, these are the people who bring beauty and color to our lives. May what artists bring to this world never be minimized or scorned. Admire and respect them, love them even, for they turn a world of black and white into brilliant technicolor."

What's in a name?

Ever had trouble remembering names?I have addressed people at work with random names 3 times this week.In my defense I got the first few syllables right at least once:P(Sheryl->Sharon,Matthew->Tim).Bha! it is embarrassing.

Two!

My nephew is notorious and drives me up the wall.After spending two days with him
I start wondering if raising kids is a big challenge.

A smile is all it takes to convince me to do anything he asks for.All said and done he is my biggest fan:).
