All work and ....some play

What do you mean "What is THAT?"

That's the longest blue road-trade route in Seafarers of Catan I've seen!

When I'm not sticking post-its to non-existent whiteboards, I'm initiating new players to the Settlers of Catan mania. It seems, as can be seen by the fate of the orange settlements, that I'm a better teacher of the game than a player, hehehe.

Thank you, Laura & family for introducing me to it, Marlise & Daniel, (and sporadically Marvin & Dorothy :) ) for hours of fun on sweltering Saturday evenings in Thailand.

(I'm kind of missing the sweltering at the moment...it's back to the freezing Saturday evenings now!)

Post it!

So, what do you do if you don't have a whiteboard and you need to brainstorm a workflow process? Thank goodness for post-its and tape! :) (the model in the picture is one of my co-workers).
What? Do I hear you say it looks complicated? Pshaw....

Time for thought

Interesting perspective on time.

What my blog will no longer contain


Ok. So, this is what I'm doing in my spare time: knitting...you might not see the connection, but this triggered the need to create a new blog. 

My previous blog said I was "here and there and in Thailand too". Well, I'm not in Thailand anymore, nor am I "here and there"...just mostly here. My previous blog featured exotic places, far-away people and outlandish bugs, but it's really hard to come up with those in an out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere small town, Argentina (not that we're boring, mind you). 

So, I decided I needed a blank slate. My blog will no longer feature snakes on my office floor, walks with tigers, escapades to Phuket, mushrooms that grew in my bathroom, and other such topics....Nope, nada. Señores y señoras, this blog will just be a loose collection of my ramblings as I reenter my country after being away for 5 years.

There, consider yourself duly warned. :) [knitting needles clicking in the background]
