This weekend I was reminded of what a privilege (and a headache) it is to have to sit down in front of my computer once a week to write this column.
Well, I can't say that my reminder of privilege was based solely on writing this column, but it did help me better understand some of my motivation for coming to work. (Yes, paying bills is a motivating factor)
