Now that we are two days into 2018, I have put together a few new year’s resolutions for my blog.
I am sharing them here in case any of them are helpful to you, and so that they will be a reminder to me of how I am trying to improve.
Be timely – Don’t wait until two days after the event before posting on topics. I want to post early about upcoming events, but I guess I am already struggling at this one. I will try to do better with this in 2018, or 2019 at the latest. Continue reading “New year’s resolutions for my blog”
Ok, so I was was too busy at work last week and never had the opportunity to put together a good post.
“Now Nick, when do you ever put together a good post?” you may be saying to yourself.
I would agree, but would add that I didn’t even have time to write a post that I liked very much. I ended up working late every day and then traveling on the weekend, so here I am getting some posts ready tonight.

While many people take the word “take” for granted, it is a surprisingly complex and confusing word that requires you to take great care.
For example, did you know that take is both a verb and a noun?
Did you also know that people constantly are using the word incorrectly?
And finally, can you believe that most people don’t thank me when I correct them?
All in all, these discussions require a lot of give-and-take, so I will give you my take on take. Continue reading “You can take your take anywhere, but you can’t take it here”
When I started this blog, I often pondered questions like:
Now that I am somehow more than 100 posts in and am lucky enough to have a few followers, I’m still not sure about most of my questions, but I’m having a lot of fun and wanted to thank everyone who has taken a few moments to read the blog.

What’s better than an ordinary compound word?
Well, I can easily think of hundreds of items, but for this column the answer is compound words that are made up of three words.

The internet is full of great blogs and I wanted to take a moment to promote a blog that I have been enjoying reading recently.
The blog is Not That You Asked and it is full of information about topics that you did not ask about, but you most likely will wish you would have. The author, Andy, is funny and interesting, and has recently discussed topics such as observations from a Texas vacation and the life of a third-string high school quarterback. He also has a poignant article about the day his father died, and then undied.
