The Art for the Day is: The art of acquiring information.
AKA: web surfing
So yesterday I told you about The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defence, and I looked it up on Amazon, to see if I had the title correct. The book is at home, and I'm not. And it lead me to think of what other books have "the Art of" in their titles. I admit this thought was furthered along because I'm reading Getting Things Done, by David Allen, subtitled "the Art of Stress-Free Productivity", more on that later. Some folks have asked me where do I come up with the idea for the art of the day. Sometimes it's something that's going on or I want to go on in my life, sometimes it's off a running list that I keep for when I can't think of anything, and I check against to make sure I'm not repeating myself (it's happened once or twice already, not including variations on a theme. I'd like not to repeat if possible), and now I have another source, titles and subtitles of published books. Should be interesting.

Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.
