your wish list

I can never say that I have nothing to blog about—at least not for a quite a while. Remember my survey? I've been meaning to report on that. I'd like to thank you all of you that have participated. The response that I've received so far, has exceed my expectations. If you're interested in filling it out (only 5 questions!) I'm still taking responses here.

I have read every single one of your comments and some of you have actually made me—ahem—swallow with a bit of difficulty, blush and smile ear-to-ear.

Below is a summary, in no particular order, of your answers to the last question (your wish list of subjects you'd like me to cover). Many of them overlapped, so I grouped similar responses in one line item. But, like I said, I read absolutely everything.

I'd be too worried to guarantee that I'll cover every suggestion but I'll give it a fair shot. If I don't consider myself an expert in a particular topic, I'll approach it as a student and you'll see me fail or succeed. How does that sound?

I can't tell you how excited I am to tackle this list. As you can see I've already scratched two items off—but this isn't to say that they can't be revisited.

So what do you think I should tackle next?

If I could only show you what I'm up to!
