It, however, never gets "easy." (Just try writing a short, yet insightful, useful blog post! We know how that goes, don't we folks?) I've found blogging has helped me immeasurably. Even if nobody ever read my blog - it's a great writing exercise. (But, unlike those scam exercise commercials on television - you can't just sit there and get results. You've got to put some effort and sweat into it.) And, yes, my style has changed - I've become more "me" as I've blogged for nearly three years.

I’ve found blogging has helped me immeasurably. Even if nobody ever read my blog – it’s a great writing exercise. (But, unlike those scam exercise commercials on television – you can’t just sit there and get results. You’ve got to put some effort and sweat into it.)

And, yes, my style has changed – I’ve become more “me” as I’ve blogged for nearly three years.

That Raiders scene is one of my favorites too. I like to think of myself in that way. I'm also fond of quoting Yoda from Star Wars, where he's training Luke Skywalker. "Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." But when I say that to my wife, she's not so fond of it. Janice: Yes. That Raiders scene is one of my favorites too. I like to think of myself in that way.
