Hello, friends. Like you, I am very concerned about Hurricane Irma, who is scheduled to strike the southernmost portions of Florida tonight. We are sending prayers, love and hope for our friends in Sarasota and to all of the people at one of our favorite vacation spots, Marco Island. And just to the entire state.
There have been a couple of bright spots in a week that has been alarming in terms of natural and political disasters.
1) Pumpkins: My local vegetable stand displayed PUMPKINS this week! I have been waiting for weeks to see them out, and now they are here!
2) U2: I stumbled across their new release, "You're the Best Thing About Me," in iTunes this week, and it was a pleasant surprise. Have you heard it? What do you think?
3) Prince George: His first day of school.
and finally, business as usual:
4) e-Mail: How to write a cold email.
5) e-Mail, Redux: The Definitive Rankings for Creative Professionals. As always, there is truth in humor.
6) Inauguration Letter: In other writing news, Obama's inauguration letter to Trump was released this week.
7) Serial: Not the podcast, the comma. What is your position on the serial comma? I am aggressively pro and am glad to see a resurgence in its support.
8) Reading: How to raise a reader. Read early, read often.
Have a fantastic weekend!
PS: Did you hear about the 70-something woman who is charged with staying at the Hemingway house in Key West to secure the 55 cats? Apparently, she has a nine-person team to help her with this task. Now, you would be hard pressed to find someone who loves cats more than I, but at most, I would be getting 4.5 dozen crates and a school bus and evacuating. Maybe I would take some extensive photos and measurements so that the structure could be rebuilt, but I would definitely be high tailing it out of there.
