I’ll take a break from generating MLS results to give some free press to my family:

• My cousin Mark is currently wandering around Europe on a Fulbright Scholarship. Congrat’s Mark!
• My big brother Tim, who’s managing the $50 million expansion at Cooley Dickenson Hospital (Northampton MA), recently gave the press a tour of the new facilities.
• My sister-in-law Claudia, who has long been lauded for her weaving skills, has started selling scarves, blankets, and other garments at various local fairs. You can sample some of her products (warning: site still under construction).

I haven’t posted here in two months, and it hasn’t been for lack of things to write. As you may have guessed, I have been extremely busy for the past eight weeks or so. While I have outlined a couple of things I want to talk about (including this post by Bob Crowley, and the recent Inter-Noise 2006 conference), I felt guilty about spending time writing instead of producing for my clients. End result: no posts. I’m hoping things will slow down enough in the next couple of weeks so I can get this blog back on track.

In the meanwhile, I would like to offer everyone my wishes for a Happy Holiday season, and peaceful New Year. ‘Silence’ is a big part of what I do, and as part of my seasonal message this year, I offer the following poem, courtesy of Scott W at Poetic Leanings:

Silence

Silence
Filled with sounds
Channeling the world
Of energetic flow
And quiet awareness

Silence
Listening as birds chatter
Over a soothing ocean’s beat
As gentle winds blow

Silence
Allowing life to breathe
With knowing lessons
Contained by subtlety

Silence
Silence
So much to hear

Merry Christmas everyone!
