There are still several items on my personal to-do list:

. update my resume

. response to an blog interview invitation

. blog about two new technologies

. finish up my Wired and New Yorker

. start on The Prince

but ... I'm not going to do any of that tonight instead I'm going to bed early.

I'm awake but I'm tired ... today I had a IM discussion with a friend. I mentioned, "I wished the weekends are 3 days long, so that I can have 2 rest days and 1 work day"

What an oxymoron. Work is good, it engages you and gives you a sense of purpose and being. Sometimes, I feel that I put too much undue pressure on myself but I fear if I go easy on myself, the mediocrity path is one slippy slope. I want to be able to talk the walk and walk the talk.
