Morning Edition

It's Friday. Hooray. How come I love the weekend so much? (Um... could it have anything to do with my job?)

I have been spending a lot of time recently thinking about what I could do besides what I am currently doing for a living. (I realize that's a little vague.) I've decided to look into writing magazine articles freelance. In recent months I've run into several people who are doing this, some in addition to their day jobs and others who are solely freelancing. I think it sounds interesting and like something I'd be good at. So I'm exploring the possibilities now. If anyone has any advice to offer me on this topic, or would like to recommend resources, please do write me. I'd be very grateful.

A few weeks back, Rob wrote in his journal about having attended a speech given by Bill Clinton at Yale. I'm happy to say that the text of that speech is now online at Salon. I really enjoyed reading it. I wish I'd been at the speech myself. Lucky Rob!
