I seemed to have confirmed my suspicions when last week, I made myself a little list of things to include on here for different days of the week. Today is Little Red Hen Society day. Yesterday was a recipe day. . . etc.

Are these just impulses to spice this place up a bit, or are they last ditch efforts to find inspiration and keep afloat a diary that as of today has.... wait a minute, let me go check..... oh here it is.... 645 entries?

So my question is this: Nu? Who can be brilliant virtually every day after 645 journal, diary, blog entries? You know what? I'll bet even Mark Twain would have a few off days if he was writing a diary online.

I can just see it....

"Hey everyone, Sammy here. I feel very grumpy today. My wife wants me to stop smoking so many cigars and cut back on my whiskey consumption. I told her in no uncertain terms that no civilized man I am aquainted with would do either of these outrageous things willingly. Which has had the negative effect of making me persona non grata in her boudoir. I don't know whether to be delighted or desolate at this turn of events. I'm going to have to get back to you on it. In the meantime, and until I regain my composure, here is my recipe for Rum Punch....."

Now I don't feel so bad really. If it can happen to one of my heroes, it can happen to me. . . in the meantime, here are a few words of wisdom from the Little Red Hen:

Thinking about doing something, sometimes takes longer than doing it.
My advice is to just do it.

I guess that's your lot.

Hoping for better things on the morrow.

(What about that Rum Punch recipe.......?!)
