As always I'm in awe of anyone who can attempt NaNo and I'm sure you'll do a great job whatever you choose.

On that theme the word 'ambition' springs to mind. Good luck whatever your choice.

I don't get much spam either...but junk mail is another topic!
I may actually get to listen Sat!!

I don't get much blog spam, but I do get an awful lot of junk mail which drives me mad. Seems nothing we do online is protected.

Congrats on getting through all those interviews. I'll certainly try to listen to some.

Even spammers don't love me. It's so lonely being me.

Wow, the possibilities if I were to talk to you live on the air. I'd have to come up with some kind of inside joke so you'd know it was me. Hmmm....

Sometimes I need to practice what I say to others...been having my own issues lately. Thanks for reminding me.

said:

I was just reading from James this morning....thinking hard about ACTING with faith and not just HAVING faith. Which isn't exactly what you're entry is about, but it's definitely related. So thankful that God never moves. It's like the line from that one song..."no matter where you are, you haven't gone too far."

We actually used our little AC yesterday too. Well, my wife did. I stood in the cold creek fishing which is kind of the same only not.

Off to listen to you again....

No problem staying cool here at the moment, although warmer weather is forecast. We shall see.

I'll catch up with your radio interview tomorrow. Have put it on my list. Well done on succeeding with another.

203 Days 4 Hours ago, in response to "The Interview"

said:

Okay, I had my morning coffee and listened. Yes, you did a very good job. Like Scarlett said, you sound very comfortable and relaxed. You seemed more relaxed than the guy asking the questions, actually. I did a double-take when the call dropped briefly....I thought the guy swore. But I listened again and he didn't.

Hurry up and get your business website up, will ya'?

said:

You sound confident and relaxed and answer the questions well. Your work sounds complicated, but you explained it clearly.

Good luck on your future interviews.

About a week ago I saw an advertisement for the release of Susan Boyle’s first music album on November 23.

If you don’t know who that is, check out this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Word of advice, have tissues handy.

When I went to Amazon yesterday, I saw that it’s #1 in sales rank. And it hasn’t even been released yet. I wasn’t remotely surprised.

What is it about Susan Boyle we all find fascinating? Why do we want to see her succeed?

Because she’s like every single one of us; a person with dreams as yet unfulfilled. We know what it means to be mocked and laughed at as she was before she started singing. With one note, she proved the cynics wrong. How many of us long to do the same?

She had a dream, practiced for over 35 years, took a chance, and fulfilled that dream.

I want to be like Susan Boyle.
