I recently helped a friend set up a website to showcase her writing. We chose WordPress.com for several reasons including the availability of themes that are, in my (and her) opinion, a little more professional looking than what you’ll find at Blogger.

Easier said than done?

Ever see the “fiduciary” at McDonalds?

Fiduciary - A person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another.

This one is rather obvious – who writes these, pre-teens?

No one knows another’s personal Hell, this is true.

Nonetheless, it is sad, tragic but most of all just supremely disappointing when someone just gives up the possibility of redemption.

This is my grandfather – my father’s father – Edward Blake Skinner. He was the first of four consecutive Edward Skinners, each with a different middle name.

Well, this process is what Bullseye shooters do to develop a successful shot plan: We write the steps down, follow those steps and, when something doesn’t work, we figure out how to change that shot plan so we do it right. And then we write down the new shot plan and follow it.

Many, many years ago, that was my nickname – skinny Skinner. I was the proverbial 98 pound weakling. Even after entering the work force, my weight stayed at 125 pounds.
