All Entries: What I Learned From a Sidewalk
Howdy, y’all!
A big ol’ yee-haw (sound of yee-haw!) and a round of applause (sound of applause) for all you wonderfully talented and incredibly fine-looking writers (my story and I’m stickin’ to it!) who joined us for this month’s slightly unusual group writing project: What I Learned From… a Sidewalk
Yup;Â I admit it may have been a tad more of a challenge than usual; after all, you might have had to exercise a brain cell or two for this one! (Just kiddin’, y’all!) But I truly do appreciate you sharing your stories (and more importantly, your lessons learned) with the rest of us. For this month, we had a total of 32 entries! (sound of crowd cheering enthusiastically)
Hey, don’t forget this month’s WILF is a contest, too! That’s right; I’ll be drawing one lucky winner from all the entries (except, of course, mine) who will receive a copy of Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett’s book, Problogger: Secrets to Blogging Your Way to a Six Figure Income. (Tune in tomorrow for the winner!)
Now, for your edification you’ll find each and every entry listed below (in no particular order, other than it’s how I found ‘em). Do yourself a favor and check ‘em all out. Heck, why not do something really out of the ordinary – why not drop by the authors’ blogs and start a conversation, why don’cha?
You just may be glad you did!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
Thanks, Robert, for inspiring so many!
Uh . . . So why is anyone reading this comment here when there are so many wonderful posts listed above?
Looking good Robert. I will set aside some “protected” time on Wednesday to read through – with a cup of good coffee …….
Congratulations again for inspiring so many of us to think and write.
@Paul – Hey, you’re welcome, Bubba! Glad you joined us, too!
@Terry – Hmmm…. my thoughts exactly! :-O
@Jackie – A cup of good coffee… Yeah, that’s the last thing you want to happen: get all settled in and comfortable – and take a sip – and it’s the worst coffee imaginable!
Whew… That was a long walk! This was my first time to attempt commenting on all of them. I think I did, but I am not sure if my comment went through on two posts. If your post got missed (and you happen to see this), let me know and I will make it up to you.
@Terry in answer to your question: I am commenting here because I am done commenting on all the other posts. Of course, I still have a long way to go to catch-up on Blogapalooza.
@Robert and @Jackie – Any cup of coffee is by definition the thing imaginable.
Have you ever noticed how much coffee grains resemble dirt? Coffee is just dirty water. 
That’s why I loved to read Robert’s blog, as he always keep feasting us with unexpected surprises!
@Luke – Hey, I’ve NEVER liked the flavor of coffee – although I do love to smell it. Is that wierd? (Don’t answer that!)
@Wilson – Hey, glad you liked it, Bubba!
