It's amazing how an individual can be squicked out by, say, eating or drinking after someone that they know and love, but think nothing of touching the doorknob of a public restroom with his/her bare hands or sleeping in hotel beds. I know plenty of people who won't eat food at potlucks unless they know and approve of the personal hygiene of the person who brought it but who don't bat an eye when dining at restaurants - no matter how greasy the spoon. It's interesting to think about the internal logic that makes walking barefoot gross but eating off the floor ok. Describe ten things about which you are selectively squeamish. http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/random.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:30:00 CDT I don't know what it is about Tuesdays, but for the past few weeks it seems that they have been going by so quickly that by the time I register the fact that it *is* Tuesday (and that, therefore, I need to post a Tuesday Ten), the day is already over. Rather than going another week without a prompt, I will post a simple favorite: List ten good things in your life right now. http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/random.html Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:30:00 CDT List your ten favorite places, attractions, events, and/or sites in the city, town, or hamlet where you currently live.

Where are the ten best places to have a picnic and/or a conversation?) http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/random.html Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:35:00 CDT List ten ways that the computer and/or internet has changed your life for the better. (List ten ways that the computer and/or internet has added more complications to your life.) http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/random.html Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:38:00 CDT List ten books that would comprise your mandatory reading list for all humankind. (What ten books have rocked you to your core?) http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/random.html Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:47:00 CST I use these for my Next Action lists (see the book, Getting Things Done, by David Allen for details), but they are also handy for other lists and logs of all kinds. http://www.daydreamingonpaper.com/downloads.html Tue, 12 Feb 2008 06:53:00 CST Every night, I set my alarm for 5 am and tell myself that I will get up when it goes off. Every morning, I turn off the alarm and then go back to sleep until about 6:30 or so.

I always look forward to the official start of each season and try to mark the occasion in some appropriate way.
