More T-shirts. Bob Levey, daily columnist for the Washington Post, once talked about a T-shirt his wife got for him. The front said, "Anyone can be a daily columnist." The back said, "For three weeks."

Well, Rooster Spice has been operational for three weeks and one day now, so I've beaten that deadline. I'm trying to approach it like a daily column--write something original every day, and so far I've been successful (except for one weekend when I was out of town). I hope to keep it going for another three.

I know that's a pretty minimal goal. But this way it's less likely I'll be disappointed.
