The pen is mightier than the sword


In the Middle Ages, the richest most powerful knights were those most skilled with the sword. Today, your skill with a pen (or keyboard) determines your rank. Not all knights were required to defend themselves daily, but they needed to practice their combative skills regularly to prepare for when a conflict did arise. You probably don't write an application letter to Harvard every day, but if you don't want the admissions committee to tear it to pieces (like Dr. Knutson will probably do to this paragraph) follow the knight's example and practice daily.

I don't know that I understand the goals for this blog... but I like what you have written so far. Especially the google one.

It's every day not everyday. Or does that matter? Not sure what the purpose is either. But it's fun to read what you have written.
