I've given in and created a Twitter account. You may have noticed it over there on the sidebar. The goal is not to keep readers up to date on what I had for breakfast (eggs with sausage, onions, and diced habanero peppers topped with Sriracha sauce--my favorite by the way). The primary goal is to share interesting links in a timely way or make comments that aren't worthy of a full post. I also like it because the 140-character limit forces me to be tight and pithy with my thoughts. It's a good exercise for the brain.

ReplyDeleteI find writing in haiku form a good exercise for the brain as well: a habanero/slathered with sriracha sauce?/gilding the lily.
ReplyDeleteThere's a blog for Navy football I follow. The guy who runs it writes a haiku after every game.
ReplyDeleteHere's the one from Navy's bowl victory over Mizzou:
Navy thirty-five,
Mizzou thirteen, and it was
Not even that close.
