Are you my REAL brother Bill who pushed my tricycle out of the way, thus saving me from a horrifying flying knife death ... or one of the monks I threw croutons at? If you're one of the monks, I think it's a rule you have to forgive me. If you're my REAL brother, then thank you. For the knife thing (although wasn't it you who threw it in the first place??) and for saying nice things. As to your question ... I, too, have trouble just clicking on the link to my blog from AOL. For some reason it screws up the formatting. I think the solution is to bookmark the main blog address ... http://beckyland.wordpress.com and use the subscription email as a reminder to go in via your favorite web browser (mine is Firefox) to read each and every dazzling word I write. If that doesn't work, then I'm at a loss as to any solution. Maybe you could throw croutons? Wait.

I have found your entries to be just as I know you funny, smart, entertaining and interesting. I would ask you to do one thing for me and all your other millions of readers. Can you figure out how to keep your text from sneaking into your notes on the margin. I have had to make myself a little cardboard tool to block out the known from the unknown and otherpeople didn't like me leaving it taped up on the computer screen for days at a time. Keep up the good work and I will try to lay down some tracks of my own as I have had to revise this post three or four times because I can't ever find the write keys to use.

It makes up for all the food fights I started with the monks. I’m glad I sounded grown up. It makes up for all the food fights I started with the monks.

I can attest to the value of finding a group of people you trust to read your work. They are worth their weight in gold, or oil, or whatever's worth more these days. Your imagination will keep those books coming and you'll be applying everything you learned on the next one, too. Thanks for sharing the insights from this retreat.
