How I did it: I was at school, it was a hot summer's night, the neighbours were away, and they had a pool. I went out in the night to swim and cool down. With nobody around and it was all dark decided to do it with more skin. It was a fun and relaxing experience. Later I did it again, using the pool of the neighbours on the other side, when they were away.Next time I'll do it with friends. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Every day I made a little time to write a poem. I sat with my computer, relaxed and started typing. Every time a poem appeared, eventually.The poems were mostly short and bad. Nevertheless, I did get some cheers, and a comment or two. I was most flattered when the real poet SimplyStacey made a comment on something I wrote, and encouraged by Lisa's continued appreciation.This year NaPoWriMo was not as much fun as last year, and I'm still w… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I traveled to Florida for work, which brought me close to one of the few surviving examples. After Pittcon ended I hired a car for a day and drove the thirty or so miles from Kissimmee to Polk City, to the Fantasy of Flight museum.This museum has the last Short Sunderland flying boat that's still in flying condition.

It is Wednesday, and I am grateful …
... for a Toastmasters meeting filled to the brim with excellent, moving, inspiring speeches.
... for the loveliness of Afrikaans.
... for the spring weather. Short sleeves!
... for room for improvement.
...
It is Tuesday and I am grateful …
... that my bathroom door now latches and no longer needs to be wedged.
... for R2 = 1. That’s the way I like my science.
... for fluoxetine and buspirone.
... that many hands made light work of the washing up after the contest.
... for unfinshed things.
It is Monday, and I am grateful …
... for a full-power workout in the gym. I can start upping the weights again from next week.
... for stewed apple and custard for lunch, and my dear mother who went to the effort of making it fresh this morning.
... for a short and simple appointment with my doctor, who helped me with what I needed without wasting time.
... that I can stop when I’ve done enough.
