No really, I don't get writer's block. There's always another idea. Oh, you want a specific idea in a narrow set of parameters, like a blog post maybe, that provides some sort of example or instruction with a smidge of encouragement and a pinch of humor? Sure. In the meantime, here's an unrelated picture I... Continue Reading →
Yeah, I said it. Oh, must not be a morning person... well, duh! Maybe I'm a morning person on the wrong side of the planet? How about that? Maybe I'm a night person who just realized that morning people slept in from yesterday afternoon. It would certainly explain why they are so peppy and excited... Continue Reading →
