My Superpower

I used to think that my only superpower was the ability to choose the slowest line. (Pro tip: if you're in a hurry, wait until I choose a checkout line and then go to a different one. You'll be out of the store before the person three people in front of me has a chance to dig out her checkbook that she won't open to start writing in until after all her items have been scanned.)

But today I realized my ability to make any website uglier also qualifies. Case in point:

Now if I could just figure out a way to monetize either of these powers...

It’s a pain to get a CMS to bend to your will, but I have faith! Your new site is looking good, and the content is interesting which is the best part. Congrats on going live!

My superpower is getting in line behind super couponers during the holidays.

Ooh, I haven't seen crazy couponers lately, but that might be because they head to the discount supermarket instead. (For me it's not worth saving $2 to deal with the poor produce selection and five acre size of the other store in town.)

I'm not sure how interesting my referencing unpublished fiction is, but I'm hoping it will at least force me to be a little more consistent about working on it. We'll see.
