INDEX, PAGE 3 OF 4
Dear Friends,
The index continues. Though I'm never quite satisfied with the execution of this column, I do enjoy the concept behind some of the columns listed below. The past few weeks, I've listed several of my favorites. This week, I'm only going to list December 18, 2001 as a must-read. It's a cure for Writer's Block that will never go wrong. Not that the other columns don't have some great information, but that December 18th one is so important that I don't want to dilute the value of it by listing others.
In writing this index, I have, by the way, noticed that I have repeated a number of themes several times. You know what? I don't care. They are important and, as my old communications professor used to say: "Repetition is the key to fidelity." (Just so you know that he wasn't making an adultery joke, the "fidelity" of which he spoke related to the phrase "high fidelity," not marriage.)
Here is the continuing index:
