  3. I was offline all weekend but I had meant to post a list of all the significant life-changes PLUSAs have gone through (all the ones people have voluntarily self-reported of course) in 2010. There were a lot – significant year for many people.

  4. I’d worked in Reno 4 or 5 times before I ever had any time off. I got into a swimsuit & tore out to the pool – passing through the casino, of course, & thinking, “How lame. All these idiots chained to the slots, etc.” Ran outside into 2 feet of snow! It was also the first time I’d seen daylight there & realized we were in the mountains.
