Welcome to my blog, Gretchen 2.0. This blog is about me and the one year "sabbatical" I've decided to take starting April 1, 2007.
First, a little about me. I'm 38 years old and I live in Austin, Texas. For the last 12 years, I worked at Dell in marketing. Most recently, I was in public relations which has been loads of fun. The picture you see here is me at the 2007 Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas with a guy who looks like Mike Myers, but is not really him. He is a great actor and does weddings, parties and bar mitzvahs as well as industry keynotes, which is how I got to know him.
So why did I name my blog Gretchen 2.0? Because, change is good. I'm not sure what the next year is going to hold, I just know it is going to be different than anything before. There are not many times in life when we get to start afresh and I hope to savor it as much as possible. in the mean time, I will use this site to share with you - my friends and family - what I am up to and what I am learning along the way. I look forward to hearing from you too.
