Archive Diving: 10 Favorites

Howdy y’all!

By the time you read this post, I’ll be flying to Brazil. And boy are my arms gonna be tired! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! (er, sorry.)

Don’t worry; I’ll be back! (In case you’re wondering where I went, see last Monday’s post.)

Anyway, since I’ll be away from the Internet for a while, may I recommend you check out a few of my older posts?

  1. I learned two very important lessons about life while climbing to the top of the mountain called The Tooth of Time.
  2. Have you ever had one of those days when you just wanted to blow up the planet and start over? Uh, me neither. But… if you have, then you need to read How to Destroy the Earth. Really.
  3. My first “What I Learned From…” story, To Follow the Herd… or Not is what inspired our monthly groupwrite projects here at the Middle Zone.
  4. Still one of my favorite tales, The Pain and the Prize tells about how I overcame a huge obstacle.
  5. Take ‘Em By Surprise is a great story about how to deliver not-so-good news to your boss. Or your boss’s boss.
  6. I once won a prize for being a total failure! It was an accident, really! But still, I had everyone wondering, How’d He Do That?
  7. The second favorite most memorable incident from our trip to Paris: A Full Moon Over the Seine River. (In case you’re wondering, here’s the MOST memorable: Ah, Paris in the Spring.)
  8. You can learn a lot of great things from blogging, can’t you? Some of ‘em invaluable; some… not so much. Here’s a list of the Top 5 Strangest Things I’ve Learned While Blogging.
  9. A long tunnel in the mountains of France taught me a thing or two about hope when we came through to The Other Side of Darkness.
  10. In The Long and the Short of It, a teeny tiny little bit of a dog teaches me a great lesson about perseverance.

(OK, so there’s 11 instead of 10. Think of it as a bonus, ‘K?)

Well, that should keep y’all busy until I get back! Y’all play nice, now!

    I just read your post about “How To Destroy The Earth. Really.” I’ve been feeling kind of down lately, and sometimes I do feel that way. But it’s kind of a scary idea as it’s spelled-out. Ha. I think I’d prefer to just power through it.

    I like your blog, shame you are away but hope you enjoy Brazil. Only been to Rio myself and that was very interesting.

    The story about climbing the mountain and actually getting your wallet back gives me hope in that there are still good people in the world. The average person would simply take the money and discard the wallet not thinking of the other person.
    Great to hear.

    I really enjoyed the way you laid out this post & I enjoyed your stories.

    Welcome back from your trip. I hope to hear more of your exploits on the blog.

    Cheers.
