  • Back in my day…

    Write about your first computer. I’m a Millenial. Ok really I’m an X-Ennial. I remember life without cell phones, internet, fax machines… so my first computer was my dad’s IBM 286. It had a black screen with yellow characters. That was unique because most computers at that time had green characters. It used dos to…

  • Toilet Paper Rolls

    What do you complain about the most? Several years ago, I was at a conference. The speaker asked the audience what was the biggest thing holding my business back.

  • Giraffe, of course! Followed by alpacas…

    What is your favorite animal? Tall, gangly, subtly powerful… definitely the giraffe!

  • What could I try for the first time?

    WordPress helpfully gave me a prompt for something to write about today- what could you try for the first time? There are lots of things I could try for the first time. I’ve been to many places, done a lot of things, but what could I try for the first time? My first instinct is…
