Quick note

Just realized I should probably expand my LinkedIn network a little more. I know a few old friends and colleagues drop by here from time to time, so if you’re interested, please feel free to add me to your LinkedIn network. Here’s my profile page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/varmazis
I also added a LinkedIn widget to my blog’s sidebar.

This is going to be a very quiet weekend for me—car woes demand that I spend the next few days negotiating with mechanics. Who knew it’d be so complicated to just get a fresh injection of freon in my AC?

In my off-time this weekend I hope to pick up where I left off with some personal writing. Yes, like most folk in any kind of writing/reporting profession, there’s a book in the works; however, I don’t intend to get the book* published, so that takes a lot of pressure off for, you know, “elegant” prose, “gripping” plot and all that nonsense.

;)

* Somehow I already have a nascent soundtrack for my work-in-progress, all thanks to a great friend and his band The Spangle Maker. I’m not sure how I got so lucky. Thank you, Derek!
