Twenty Things That Might Jump Start This Blog

1) A shot of heroin

2) A swift kick in the pants

3) A movie-theater sized box of Nerds

4) An actual day with actual sunshine and actual air that won't sear off your skin and leave shards of ice

5) Money

6) A Stand By Me level food fight

7) The duck in an Elizabethan collar picture that hangs over Amelie's bed coming to me in a dream and saying "Hey, blog more"

8) A swift and violent act of eco-terrorism

9) A new laptop

10) 12 Heath bars

11) A big steaming plate of General Tso's chicken

12) Sleepblogging

13) Regis Philbin calling me up to answer a trivia question on Regis and Kelly

14) Threat of dismemberment

15) An inspiring, welcome life change

16) A depressing, unwelcome life change

17) Finding change on the sidewalk

18) Except: Oh, wait-- you can't see the sidewalk under all the SNOW

19) Having the walk shoveled by Art Garfunkel

20) Who would then call up his buddy Paul, who would then sing "You Can Call Me Al." While I blog.

Okay, well, I could provide:

The Nerds
The Heath bars
The shoveling and singing (I can be quite entertaining. And I am really good at impersonations)
Food fight
Kick in pants
Depressing, unwelcomed life change (I want it to be a surprise)

And so much more.
I think I love your blog.

(Does that help?)
