Shawshank

Anyone ever watch Shawshank Redemption?

I loved that movie (I also loved the book, for that matter).

During that movie, Andy Dufresne, our wrongly-accused protagonist is in prison.  He decides that the ramshackle library needs to be improved.  Not having money, he decides to request a grant from the state to fund the library project for the prison.

Of course, he did not get a response to his letter.  So he decides to send another, and another, and another.  He sends a letter requesting a grant every single week until the state caves-in and sends him a box of old books and a little bit of money.  In response, Any upped the ante to two letters a week until he got the full grant he was looking for.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to give Sabrejack.com the ‘Shawshank Treatment.’  For those that don’t know, Sabrejack is the online moniker of my good friend Pete.  He has a blog that he posts to about three times a year.  The thing is he has a lot of good things to say, just never takes the time to commit them to paper (or the intarweb, as it were).

So I decided to post a comment on his most recent post, every single weekday, until he updates.  It wasn’t long until he wrote another great post.

So please, I encourage you to stop by his site, read, and maybe even drop a comment or two.

Hope you keep writing, Sabre.

Zel-kun out.
