Well, my March Madness ratings are dropping.... I'm actually getting hate mail from my fans now! Well, ok, that might be a bit much, but in response to the vast, loyal viewing audience -- here's to pushing that dumb hand image down to the bottom of the blog.

So this entry is a double header. I picked up a great book: How to Write your Dissertation in Fifeteen Minutes a Day and one of the recommendations is that you write. All the time. Everyday. Even just fifeteen minutes. Doesn't even have to be about the thesis. The idea is that you "exercise" the writing muscle in addition to just getting used to putting the nasty soup of thoughts down into written words.

I think her advice goes well with life. There is something motivating about writing about something, anything. It's almost like a mental cup of coffee.

Last thing. I cannot tell you how much I miss working on cars. I'm doing a real wheel brake job right now and, man, it just feels good to be getting greasy and fixing things. So if you want to support me in my pickup work today pick up a cheap beer (I recommend Pacific to my BC friends and Miller Low Life for the folks south of here) and turn up some classic rock. Cheers.
