keepin’ it fresh

Tomorrow is four-minute Friday.

That means I start with Go and end with Done, and everything in between is written in four minutes. I typically choose a topic based on whatever’s happening at the moment, and then just start typing. I’ve four-minuted about time zones, nicknames, and cereal. Music, hope, Isaiah 53, and ostriches.

Thanks to an inspiring housewarming gift, I’m gonna mix things up this week. You get to decide the topic of tomorrow’s post.

So. What do want me to ramble about for four minutes? Give me as many suggestions as you’ve got.

    this isn’t very surprising coming from me but how about running? or to really mix it up running sexily (the only way I know how to).
    good luck deciding which topic to pick.

  11. Ed says:

    What was your thought process in selecting them?

  12. Andrew Ronzino says:

    No unfortunately … My sister doesn’t believe in God.

    She’s building a home up there and will be getting married on her front lawn of this majestic home.

    I can’t wait to hug on her, it’s been 9 years.
