Wild Cards! June 1, 2015

Cartoon of the Week  This week’s cartoon comes courtesy of subscriber Donna Majetic, one of my favorite folks!  I laughed out loud, as this seems to be a common urge of folks who think ‘math’ is a four-letter word!  🙂 Donna claims she is perfectly innocent here, but I’ll bet she’s at least thought of it!  See Guilty?

Krazy Pic (Scotland)  Saw this sign the morning we left Stirling, Scotland, and had to have the pic!  Given my writing style, I’ve always wondered where I could rent these!!  See  Krazy Pic 15-7.

June Birthdays  For a list of known subscriber birthdays in June, see June Birthdays.

Brain Teasers  I know, I know – you’ve had to go OVER one month without some fun brain teasers to solve!! 🙂 Hopefully this will help remedy that.  See BT 15-8.

Guest Voices Follow Up  Our normal Wild Cards format has returned this month, and our Guest Voice feature is returning to a periodic feature, for the time being.  I hope you enjoyed meeting the authors, hearing their voices, and encountering their variety of topics and styles!!  And I hope YOU will help me decide how frequent this feature should be in the future (see ONE YEAR below).  More to follow.

If you’d like to re-visit any of the previous Guest Voice pieces and/or re-meet the authors, follow this link:  Guest Voice Archive.

If you’d even consider sharing YOUR Guest Voice, please take a look at Guest Voice Thoughts, and let me know if you have any questions or want to talk further (no strings attached!)

ONE YEAR!!  Celebration & Reflection Come the middle of this month, the Weekly Photo/Sharings will be one year old!  (The first one went out on June 16, 2014).  This is a cause of celebration and reflection, and throughout this month, I’ll be asking for YOUR help in the reflection phase!!  What kinds of changes (if any) should we make as we head into our second year?  What features (if any) should we add, drop, and/or change?  I’m VERY interested in your input of course, so please plan to take a little time to help me.  More to follow next week.
