I've had the great fortune of being able to work this week from my friend's beach house.  Have laptop will travel.  I consider myself part of the "mobile office" workforce that was recently featured in the New York Times.  More and more people are saying goodbye to the cubicle and hello world.  The only problem with my "job" is that the pay is lousy.  But the perks are fantastic.  I make my own hours.  I can wear a sweatshirt to the job.  And I have a feline companion to keep me company as I continue to research, write grant proposals, set up blogs and websites and plot and plan our global adventure.
