Gonna hafta take a shower

Filed under:

It’s Saturday Night and I’m gonna hafta take a shower.

I never take showers between Friday and Sunday. Or shave. I like to get really stinky and hairy on the weekend. Then on Sunday night, just before bed, I take a long shower and shave my head and face and voila! new me for the new week.

But since Orion joined us, I’m a little short on time during the week to shower (or shave, or brush my teeth for that matter), so I generally get a shower in every-other-day. Or maybe I’ll skip two days, I dunno. This leads to weird hiccups in the schedule.

And, to tell the truth, since I quit doing the kind of work that involves sweat and dirt and weather — ten years ago this month, actually — I kind of don’t see the point. I kind of dislike bathing, when all I’m washing off is cubicle stank.

So now it’s Saturday night and I realize I haven’t had a shower since Wednesday. And I have to go to the grocery store tomorrow where there will be other people and I’m not sure I can count on all of them being anosmic.

Everyone should shave their heads. At least once in your life.

It has been twenty four days since my last blog post.

No Fooling

In celebration of our shiny! new! Mercycorps.org

We just launched the redesign of MercyCorps.org. Like half an hour ago. I've been itching for this change since I started ... 18 months. The project has been in the works since last summer. We've had to shelve the redesign for three emergencies, and it was postponed for Christmas last year.

As a personal milestone, this represents the largest project I've ever executed from start to finish. This is my biggest project by any measure: pageviews, content nodes, dollars transacted, good contributed to the world.

So: take a minute or two and check out the the Brand! New! Drupal-powered! http://www.mercycorps.org. Send me feedback, thoughts, comments. And please consider making a little donation.
