I’ve read more comics in the last year than at any point in my life after the third grade.  One title I haven’t dipped back into is the Archie series – I was imagining that nothing had really changed.  I was wrong. today I read that we’ll soon have “”Archie Marries Veronica Part 1:  The Proposal” in the comic book store. I keep waiting for someone to explain that the Archie series has finally decided to experiment with several alternate universes the way the super hero comics have.

Veronica or Betty, Ginger or Mary Ann, Betty or Wilma. Your choice and your willingness to defend it tell me more about you than the average Facebook profile.

While I was reading an article on developing expertise, I ran into a clip of football stunts on facebook that makes the point visually. I like the sheetrock and the bell tower bits best.

So what is it you love enough to spend the time to get that good at? You should watch me edit a file when I am in the zone, it will knock your socks off.
