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.

CONGRATS!!!! Enjoy relaxing my friend..

Let me know if you need any insider info on some of the places we hit on our sabbatical. And if you are going to couch it and watch TV, do it in a foreign country. It just feels more exotic.
