He couldn't believe she said it, and yet ...
Artist Date or Field Trip:
The stranger on the bench! Go to a busy place and sit uncomfortably near somebody and (of course) eavesdrop ... or better yet ... start up a conversation with them. What did you hear?
Literary Quote of the Day (unverified from the web)
Murphy's Law states, "Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure."
INKDrop:
We all accept certain things we hear as true without investigation. The nightly newscast is primarily designed to deliver you a list of the aberrant behaviors of the day and we often accept on faith that the list is somehow relevant in our lives. What news items are you pondering today that probably will never affect you in any way?

Competition idea: Grab a literate friend or two, agree on the topic today, and write. Maybe 1000 characters (fits in your cell phone notepad), or 500 words (our gold standard), or longer. Then share your work with somebody and ask them to select their favorite effort from today. You might be surprised how much you love winning (or hate losing).
And stop by our old home page and see if we've managed to catch up.
