I woke up at 6:30 Wednesday morning to hear Gene Weingarten, humor writer for the Washington Post, former editor of the Style Invitational, and discoverer of Dave Barry, speak to the students of Montgomery Blair high school’s student newspaper, Silver Chips. It was an inspirational talk. Hearing Gene speak reminded me how much satisfaction I get out of writing.
I’ve turned my blog into a journal of sorts where I can jot quick notes to remind myself of the interesting things in my life. Eventually, I do want to write an autobiography, at which point I’ll have my blog to remind me of the dumb things I did when I was younger.
But after hearing Gene, I’m inspired to add a weekly entry in which I really but some thought, effort, and time into the writing. After all, what do I have now if not time?

Did you read Gene Weingarten’s column in the Washington Post Magazine this week?
I thought it was hilarious that he was “hip” enough to know about “two girls one cup”. I wonder what *his* reaction was to the now-viral-video.
