March 9, 2007 Frances Friday: A Possible Career Option 
On Sunday I forced myself through a lower-body workout for the first time in a month (several colds and a few stomach bugs took February out of circulation) and, as I was finishing up, Erik and Frances came downstairs. "What are you doing, Mummy?" "I'm exercising. See?" "Can I watch a little bit of television?" "No, I'm using it right now. But you can play down here until I'm done." "OK!" She clambered onto and off of the bench, reunited the Mummy and Baby Horse and the Daddy and Baby Cow, and in general puttered around until I turned off the TV and finished stretching--then ran over. "Mummy, can I exercise now?" "Sure." She rolled on to the green yoga mat and, with much squirming and wriggling, got herself centred, onto her side, and balanced in a classic leg-lift pose. "Now," she said, "let me show you how to do it." No wonder she has such perfect little legs. ~~~~~ This Monday's Mission is the press release, and for those of you who'd like to play along but have never written one, I found two links with examples: Watch out for the pop-up and pop-under ads, though. I guess it's only to be expected from advertising how-to sites.

Now, that is a foreign concept to me and NSBH would probably wonder what in the hell I was doing if I exercises. Posted by: ccw at March 9, 2007 8:29 AM
I love Frances, Frances Friday, and all things Frances. But you knew that. Posted by: yankee,transferred at March 9, 2007 9:57 AM
Brains and brawn too. What a kid. BTW, I have learned a thing or two about writing press releases in my days of arts admin. Ideally they should go out on Monday or Tuesday (slow news days); they should have all relevant info in the first two sentences; they should be informative yet personal; they should be written with the knowledge that if they need to be trimmed, they will be cut from the bottom up.
