Happy International Women’s Day! There is a man here at work who buys a rose for every woman in the office every year. How lovely is that?

(Yes, I walked outside to get better lighting to snap a photo of the rose. I may have an Instagram addiction.)

“Do what you can. No more but certainly no less.”

Great (and entertaining) talk on why you should not use the word “gay” pejoratively.

Current Read: Wild by Cheryl Strayed

I’m not easily excited about physical exercise or things like hiking. I’ve avoided reading this book for months now despite really enjoying a couple of her other books. Word around the internet is that even if you’re not into hiking, this book is phenomenal. I can’t wait to really dig in!

This weekend is for socializing with a few VEDA alums and taking advantage of some free SXSW meet ups.
