A couple weeks ago, ForeWord magazine invited me to be the guest blogger for their magazine in June. Despite my stage fright–make that page fright–I did what I usually do when someone asks me if I’d like to do something I’ve never done before, I say “sure, I’d love to….”. So, the past couple weeks have been involved in thinking what’ll I say…….
If there’s one good thing about deadlines though, they force you to stop thinking about it, and just do it–oh my god–I’ve strayed into Nike commercial land, time to sign off.

Congratulations on the blogging gig!
Good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve long suspected the Winnie-the-Pooh connection. I on the other hand (paw?) tend to exhibit the worst qualities of Eeyore and Piglet.
That Winnie the Pooh experience was simply awful. It was hot, and my clothes were absolutely drenched by the end of the parade–and then my ride back to my car took off without me–so I had to walk another couple of miles back lugging this silly costume and gigantic head. I think the only reason I wasn’t mobbed by kids on the way back to my car was because I looked so irritated, no one dared bother me.
Years ago when I worked in a mall, Sears had their marketing thing with Disney & Winnie-the-Pooh, so once in a while the Winnie guy would lumber through the mall waving at kids. I saw one mom (obviously not a reader) look at the costume (including the broken honey jar on his head) and say “Oh look, dear, it’s Hunny the Bear!”
