Six Words

Last week the Fort Worth Star Telegram ran an article challenging readers to think about writing their memoirs in six words. Some were insightful; some were dumb. No matter the case, I simply had to try it out myself.

"Love God. Learning to love people."

Now it's your turn. I'd like to challenge all of you to write your own memoir or motto in six words in the comment box. It's a simple exercise, but I believe you'll find it to be quite thought-provoking.

Oh yeah...

I forgot to announce that we bought a house a couple of weeks ago. We have already gutted the bathroom, removed all the carpet and demo-ed some 70's era brick tile in the inner walkway with a 30 pound jackhammer. I'll post some nice before-during-after pics in the near future. In the mean time, I need to go ice my hands.

C. E. U.

Ok, class, our word for the day is baluchitherium. This word originates from Latin, meaning "beast of Baluchistan." It was a primitive, hornless rhinocerous, and is the the largest known land mammal ever to exist.

It is also the name of one of the coolest instrumental songs ever by Van Halen.
