Weeding, Fishing and Throwing some back

Walking the granddoggers this morning, I couldn't help noticing the crabgrass. Here in Southern California it's been cold at night. The crab isn't as hardy as the sod, so it browns off and discolors patches in neighbors' lawns (certainly not in my own!). Normally it blends in, pretty and full. But the weather betrays and homeowners not scrupulous in removing the pesky creepers wake up to see their lawn's true make up.

Reminds me of writing. First you throw it down, pounding the words as they flow with abandon, you just want to fill in the blank screen. They you sit back and admire the page, now full and luscious. But let it sit and it grows cold in the ight of a new day and a fresh read. Wait! Where did all those ugly, creeping errors of blundering verbiage, head hopping and pointless dialog adding nothing to the plot come from?

Now watch this hilarious video. Warning, grab some tissues to wipe tears of laughter at a couple places, then come back here. (Or read the last paragraph and enjoy. You can pick.) http://www.snotr.com/video/5987

The video has nothing to do with my point you say? Aha, but it does. These are all outtakes. Interesting, funny, and each one might even tell its own story. But each clip was cut out of the show that aired. Why? Not relevant. Unnecessary.

That's a wrap.
