This is from the Daily Post on April 30. I’m a little behind in replying to it. One of the tricks I use to post regularly is to schedule posts in advance. I am able to write when I have time and try to stay about a week ahead. A result is that when I respond to the Daily Post or Plinky may be days after the prompt was posted. So back to the topic of the day. As of April 30th I was half way through the Post A Day Challenge. I decided to do the PostAWeek rather than a PostADay but really I’m posting almost every day.
So the question is to list my top 3 posts for the year so far. I’ve come up with one for each month from January to April. Yes, I know that’s 4 and not 3.
07 Jan: My Greatest Accomplishment of 2010
My theme for 2010 was “make a difference”. I wanted to stop complaining about things or just thinking someone should do something about that. Instead I decided to do something. One of the things I did was to become involved with an adult literacy program. More…
21 Feb: Thoughts on Metacognition

I could have fun with that one but I won’t). He went on to say that the way he thinks or learning style is why he doesn’t hear me and that he can only focus on one thing at a time. Well, my response is that my thoughts are more like movies complete with sights, sounds and sometimes smell. I could be in another room doing something else and hear what he is saying. Then followed a conversation about how he was not gifted with ADHD like I am. More…
07 Mar: Top 10 — Odd Laws
I need to come up with more lists. It is just hard to get inspired sometimes. This one came to me when I was supposed to be doing something else.
#10: In Alabama, you may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time. This is the law that sparked the list. The speaker mentioned it in a training I was attending last week.
#9: In North Andover, Massachusetts carrying “space guns” is prohibited. So, if Phasers are banned I wonder if Light Sabers are legal? More…
17 Mar: My Hometown
Established in 1849 where the Clear and West forks of the Trinity meet Fort Worth was one of a series of forts along a “picket-line” to protect the western frontier from Indians and other dangers. More …
10 Apr: Song Challenge Day 5
Today’s challenge is a song that reminds of someone. When I was little my Daddy used to sing Come Thou Fount (Warrenton) as a lullaby. This is not the version of Come Thou Fount that is usually sung. It is the version from the Sacred Harp. More…
