Spelling counts

Hey, lawyer who advertises on TV and hopes I'll call your large print phone number because I've suffered the ill effects you describe which are related to a medical device:

chord = A group of (typically three or more) notes sounded together, as a basis of harmony.
cord = Any part resembling a string or rope

And, hey, person programming the news crawl on channel 3:

Tuscan = of, pertaining to, or characteristic of Tuscany, its people, or their dialect.
Tucson = city in south Arizona

Just so you know...

Well, hello, 2012!

So apparently this will be a blog I use once a year. You know, lest I wear it out :)

Actually, that's not the reason. Failure to use this blog is directly related to my rise in Facebook usage. In fact, it could be charted. Plot the number of entries on the X axis and the date on the Y axis. As my FB use increased, my blog use declined. There. Scientifically proven!

But I'm rethinking that a bit. FB is limiting in terms of space. It's OK for brief thoughts, funny ideas, and updates, but I wouldn't really write anything of length or much substance there. And I do have some musings that would be longer, and frankly not really appropriate for the way I prefer to use FB.

Bottom line - I've gotten out the jumper cables...I'm firing up the motor....IT'S ALIVE!!!

Welcome, 2012.
