I've gotten notice that I am..and I quote, "a bit wordy" in my posts.
I've decided to swallow my foolish pride (that I can write) and try something new. I know most of you, myself included, may not have the time and/or attention span to stay engaged with the blog. So I'm distilling it down and adding pictures/video. Like a pop up book. If you like it, let me know. If you don't like it, let me know. Whatever you say, I'm pretty much gonna do what I want, but I'll be thinkin' about 'cha!
All the best!

Rhett, write on buddy. Long posts can be skimmed by the AD/HD types, but the rest of us like knowing your daily happenings and thoughts. The multimedia additions are a cool bonus, so keep that up too (I'm a greedy subscriber). It's great reading about a foreign land and culture most of us will never get a chance to experience.
Best wishes from Canada. T.G.
THANK YOU!!!! Teresa was having trouble paying attention! I'll throw in some long ones to spice up the content.
Great to hear from ya!!!!
Hope to be up there again soon!!!
Don't blame me! I only said you were wordy. I never said that it was a BAD thing. Since when did you start listening to me?
