A good tip if you don't have a proofreader is to read your writing out loud. I have caught a lot of things that way in my job.

Man's gotta have a code. RIP MKW. Thanks for the book recommendation I always like to find something new to read. Re: proofreading, I always get my spouse, mother or 16 year old daughter to proof read for me, they're always happy to point out my mistakes. So is the cat, but she's not a good enough reader.

Don't worry. I deleted that newsletter so nobody will have to know.

I haven't had this much fun reading your daily blog since I was a teenager reading PJ O'Rourke in the National Lampoon in the mid 1970's. Long may your reign!
