This year is the sesquicentennial of the Jervis House. We will kick off the celebration by being a stop on the annual Tour of Homes organized by The Rome Home in July.
I am an accidental library administrator struggling with balancing family life with a career in non-profit administration. I was struggling with balance well before the incredible shrinking economy. That just exacerbates the situation.
rating: 5 of 5 stars If I were a big business executive, I would have all employees read this book. I would also want to have recurits read it and write a one page response. Yes, I liked it that much. I love Pausch's sense of humor and sense of decency.
My daughter and I accidentally ended up listening to this one together; it was in the CD player when we took a drive together, so I thought I'd see where it went. She just loved the book and has been raving about the great story! I'm glad to have left it in although it was definitely not intended for her age group. A bit of the pioneering spirit came out and we ended up striking gold.
There was so much the author could have said, but didn't. No wallowing, but celebrating and doling out quite practical advice. I plan to come up with my own version of thin mints and I've been looking for a name for a company awards program, and "The First Penguin" just might do.
