Goalsetting 101: A little touchy-feely for me but jam-packed with useful ideas.

Back from SoBe
I’m back from SoBe (that’s South Beach, Miami, to you). Lots of fun. Stayed here. Ate here. And here. And here (twice, very late at night). Got denied entry here. Got in here (more than once) with no problem. Got rained while enjoying the roof deck here.
UPDATE: Miles B. suggests I add the following: I temporarily lost my sanity and bought these shoes (in grey and red); I also came within a whisker of purchasing these absurd $100 sunglasses (in white).

Drug Smuggling News
Miami: “Customs and Border Patrol officials said they have stopped an operation that was trying to smuggle cocaine into the U.S. by hiding it in a shipment of plantains from Ecuador.”
Australia: “Many Australians reacted with anger and shock after a Queensland woman they believe is innocent was found guilty of smuggling drugs into Bali and sentenced to 20 years’ jail.”

On Getting Up Early
“How to Become and Early Riser.”
I always struggle to get out of bed in the morning, even when I’ve had enough sleep. One semester, when I was teaching in Ecaudor, I taught a class that began at 7:00 a.m. I got up every day at 6:00, took a shower, drank some coffee, taught my class until just after 8:00, and then had the rest of my morning off. Nice leisurely breakfast, newspaper, etc. It was fabulous. But I only got up because I had to. Also, I was living in a town that shut down at 9:00 p.m., so I was always asleep by 11:00 p.m. Perhaps I need to start scheduling 7:00 meetings…

A Few Links
AHamburgerToday: “a new weblog dedicated to hamburgers. And cheeseburgers. And anything burger-related.”
Richard Wanderman writes a great Weblog called Richard’s Notes. We use the same design template and he gave me some great advice in setting mine up.
“Get Rich Slowly” is a nice compendium of personal finance advice.
