Each month, provides an opportunity to reflect on the past month as well as hope and plan for the next. June has been a long hard month. Various conferences and family circumstances have taken a lot of time and energy, unfortunately, the billable hours have been lacking. This coming month brings us Social Web Week Connecticut 2010. This will be a weeklong collection of events in New Haven, July 10-16. The goal of Social Web Week is “to bring people together in CT to explore how best to use the social web to improve our quality of life.”

Later in July will be the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. This is a festival that I’ve been going to since the early nineties. We camp out at a farm, and spend days sitting in the sun, and occasional thunderstorm or worse, listening to music.

I am pretty excited about both events, and so I start off the month, like I try to start each month with the old childhood invocation of good luck, “Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit”.
