Today's question is one that has
perplexed men for ages: What is it with women and shoes?
Tom says:
Not every woman is obsessed with shoes,
but it is usually a safe bet that she owns more pairs than the man in
her life.
Men only need a few pairs of shoes and
each has a specific function:

I think I first became aware of Big Al's Books and Pals in March of 2011 when I was researching blogs to
which I could peddle my first book. At that time, the story of the
day was "The Greek Seaman"

Woah - it looks like I might have had the wrong impression *sneeze* about Splitter all along.
I
know that he claims he has a life outside of entertaining everyone who
comes to this neck of the woods and all and I really didn’t believe that
to be the case. I lean more towards he is holed up in a cabin in the
woods somewhere trying to reenact scenes from the epic Joss Whedon Splitter's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730691188111394478noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281973857463191552.post-81715733865132873852012-05-25T14:33:00.001-04:002012-05-25T14:33:56.347-04:00Memorial Day Weekend Only!

(Yeah, Wednesday because I was too busy yesterday)
Today's question comes from me as I indulge in a bit of writer-navel-gazing. Writers need their characters to grow in some way, to change. Readers need it too and that's one of the reasons a character may or may not be interesting. So saying, I would note that the growth and/or change does not have to be for the better.

A little background: Frank and I met on an Internet discussion board. That is sort of the same way I met my wife but please do not confuse the two...Mrs. Splitter is better looking.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to take Andrew Luck with the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft. This will go down in history as one of the biggest “misses” of all time because Luck is doomed to fail.
“Doomed” may be too strong a word. It might be more accurate to say that if he succeeds it will be miraculous.
His impending failure has nothing to do with his abilities as a quarterback.
