Don’t you just love it when you ask someone for directions and they verbally rip them off faster than an auctioneer on speed, and then they end the sentence with, “Ya can’t miss it!” Yes I can.  I had this happen for the hundredth time in my life yesterday as I was trying to find [...]

Our new Honorary WoodChip, Thea W. seemed pleased with her award. She was honored for “her unbridled WoodChips enthusiasm and sharing the posts and links with her friends.”  Her most recent post to friends was as follows …       If you need a daily dose of humor please follow Dan Roberts – the creator of [...]

Over the holidays I had the privilege of meeting Peter Wright over the internet.  He had viewed the WoodChips, made some good comments, and asked me some questions about an advanced web site building / internet marketing training program put on by Early To Rise (an organization I am an alumnus of).

So, [...]

Just when I thought life was getting complicated enough, our whole world has been turned upside down with the recent change in the Zodiac!
