Life Across The Pond

Goal Oriented

I've never really considered myself a goal-oriented person. While I can see the obvious benefits of such a quality, I often find that short term goals like deciding which shirt in the dryer is the least wrinkled and thus most easily ironed or figuring out what combination of edible items in my apartment would qualify as dinner take up an exorbitant amount of my free, waking time.

However, a friend recently provided me with some inspiration towards setting loftier goals and seeing them to fruition. This week, iron all my work shirts immediately after washing. Next week, the world.

Road Trip Redux

I decided to try out a bit of self-service publishing and ordered a book of my road trip pictures through QOOP. After a couple days at the printer, I received my e-mail confirming the shipment of my order. Ironically, QOOP is based out of NY and my book is shipping via DHL Ground. In essence, my book of pictures of my drive across the country will be making nearly the same trip I did. If only I could tell it to pick me up a burger from the whole in the wall joint in Jackson, Wyoming. I'd also warn it about not speeding in Ohio. Looks like that's where the book is right now.
