Because there’s always a better way to do something – or a better way to analyze something – or present something. The minute we think we have it all figured out, all nailed down, and there’s nothing more left to change – that’s the EXACT time we need to think about mixing things up a little.

Charlane, that must be strange to have “all dark” or “all light”. You must have some pretty darn thick window shades! All the best.

Thank you Tim, Lucny, Christina, Jeanne, Derek, Erica, Amy and Charlane for your comments and feedback on my new site design.
Tim & Lucny, yes, the ego needs to be put in the corner every now and then!
And yes Derek, you have to try. Or as Yoda would say, “Just do”.
Erica, it does make sense. Really, it does. You’ll never rock this boat!
Amy, that’s the first time anyone has used exquisite when describing my writing. I’m honored.
Charlane, thanks, and how are things in Iceland?

All the best to all of you!
Terry

Terry,
I love the new digs! The Thesis theme suits you well, but no matter WHAT your site looks like, I come back again and again for the exquisite content. You are a mentor to me and so many others! Congrats on the “makeover.”

oops.Pardon the dyslexia:) I meant “because I read left to right, I want to continue past the post over to the right to see what I might have missed, rather than returning to the left to continue with the post.” Does this make sense? If not, no worries. Site still rocks.
