If I Had a Wednesday Morning Rundown Part 2
- Read some of Humility Matters, by Mary Margaret Funk. I don’t like it nearly as well as her other book, Thoughts Matter. Possibly because I don’t like humility much. I’m more of a pride person. But I’m working on it. Sorta
- Fair warning: you might not want to buy it. She writes to people in monasteries. I just pretend that it applies to me in some deep figurative way I can’t defend.
- Graded the last mid-term for the class I teach at Spring Arbor. I use Microsoft review functions to provide feedback as Blackboard is my latest enemy. What ISN’T great about a platform that gives you an error message no matter what function you’re trying to use? Any more of this and I’m going to have to nickname it Twitter.
- Still brainstorming my newest book proposal. It doesn’t have a title yet. It’s about friendship, except for way cooler than how bland and unoriginal that sounds when I type it. Please feel free to title and/or write the entire book for me starting…now.
- I’m also in the process of trying to rebrand my website. The main fit I like to throw about it is that I don’t want to be a brand. I want to be a person. Unless of course being branded means getting a cool theme song like Transformers “More than meets the eye”. Then I’m all in.
- Reread some of the notes for my friend Matt’s book. It’s on non-verbal story-telling. I’d tell you more, but I’d have to mime it to you.
- I wish someone would invent a stapler that lasts more than 24 hours in the hands of teenagers. Anyone? Anyone?
- Talked to my longtime friend Tom who is the head of communications at Disney, but is meanwhile writing his 12th published novel. This one is about military espionage. I bet they make it into a movie. I’m hoping some of his raw talent somehow oozed its way through the phone onto me.
- Read that my friend Ben announced a new application deadline for DREAMYEAR. It’s December 10th. You’ll be so mad at yourself if you don’t look into it. I might be mad at you too in fact. :)
- In case you were wondering, any resemblance this post has to the previously mentioned Ben’s Wednesday Morning Rundowns is purely coincidental. Ben who??

Glad to hear it is not just me being driven crazy by blackboard. It crashes on me all the time. I sometimes try to convince myself that blackboard crashing is really a sign I should stop work.
A book about friendship sounds exciting! Since you’ve been using the food theme, something about chocolate? Chocolate seems to be the right kinda food to go with friendship.
