How I did it
How to write more poetry
It took me
10 years
It made me
Happy

How I did it: Whenever I felt the inspiration, I opened the file where I keep all my poetry and wrote. If needed, I re-wrote and edited the poem later. sometimes I created several versions of the same poem until I was satisfied with it. Read how I did it…

How to live without a television for a year
It took me
1 year
It made me
instropective

How I did it: I moved to Connecticut to an apartment by myself, and I didn't own a TV. So, when I got there, I did not buy a TV and decided to try life without TV for a year. It made me devour reading material: I would read two daily newspapers, 3 weekly magazines, four monthly magazines and still run out of "stuff" to read. My apartment was always spotless, and they new me by name at the local bar.  Read how I did it…

How to have a short passionate affair
It took me
1 week
It made me
feel AWESOME!!!

How I did it: I knew her forever! She was (is) beautiful and sexy, but it was always out of the question. I was in town on vacation. She was getting done with her divorce. We went out, as friends, with friends. We had always connected. It was too easy. It was explosive and spontaneous. It wasn't suppose to happen, but it did and we couldn't stop it. Read how I did it…

Has anyone tried Rosetta Stone in Arabic? Does it work … in Arabic or any other language. Any other effective method anyone knows of … other than moving to the Middle East :-)

watch the sun rise and set in the same day
Daytona Beach to Clearwater Beach

with a stop in Orlando for lunch.
If you don’t feel like driving 4 hours, try Key West: sunrise on Smathers Beach and sunset at Mallory Square.
