I was having trouble concentrating on work today, so I did an exercise of listing experiences and silly thoughts that made me laugh. Doing this gave me the creative jump start I needed. I remember reading a similar list in one of my favorite blogs, so I figured I'd give it a whirl...

I briefly lived in NYC after college for the experience.
Peanut butter and honey on rye bread with chips and milk is delicious.
My middle name is Leinjarv. It’s my Estonia grandmother (Eha’s) maiden name. I miss her so much.
I recently invented a character named Sticky Paws who lives in the hood and inherited his nickname from eating honey from the Sue Bee tub with his fingers as a child.
Even with several attempts, I've never successfully done a flip off a diving board - front or back.
