I haven't blogged in a while.  The longer you go between writing the harder it is to write.  Writing does not come naturally to me.  I think to much about what I want to say and how to say and what I've already said.  Then I end up taking half of what I have already written out.  My poor son is alot like me.  He struggles with writing. 

I have tried many writing programs and I have decided there is no magic program.  He will just have to work and struggle to learn to write.  Right now we are using a book called The Write Stuff by Dean Rea.  It has different ideas of things to write about.  It starts out with ideas for writing for fun.  The next section is a family history and then essays, interviewing and non-fiction articles, and news, advertising and photography.  We are on the family history section. 

My daughter loves to write.  She is very verbal and very creative.  She has plenty to say.  She writes stories and reports without problem.  I only have to work on her grammar.  We use Easy Grammar for that.

As the Mickey Mouse Club groomed the children of the 60s for the 70s revelry cycle so is the Disney-production that is Hannah Montana grooming the children for the next revelry cycle, 2010-2020. The incest photo was a clue.
Similarly, as guitar strumming was very sociable back then so is Guitar Hero the training tool used to gain male interest today.
Osama struck a "deal" with a record company executive in 2007::::With this Democrat in office I suspect we are going to witness an intense revelry cycle like we experienced in the 1970s.
