In a Holiday Mood

I'm going to break my very brief tradition and post the Random Dog Photo right here up front. This is Smudge.


Smudge is a 3-month old Papillon puppy who has taken over my parent's household. Smudge also took over J and I during Thanksgiving - that's J's arm in the photo. We fought over who got to play with puppy on an ongoing basis.

I've redecorated for the holidays. The template comes from Pyzam.com. The post area is a little skinny for my taste, but hey, moochers can't be choosers! The chances of my sitting down to code a new template are pretty much nil.

On the way out of town I got a call scheduling an interview for a position I really want. I'm keeping the contract/sole practice on the down low for a couple of weeks to see if the interview results in a job. Job with benefits definitely trumps self-employed, broke sole practitioner!

My newly consolidated federal loans come due soon and they will promptly be placed in deferment. Sound familiar to any new J.D. graduates?
