  1. Liked your blog. You could start a trend like the comedian George Carlin with words. I’ve heard that you can often analyze a personality with such a little thing as choice of words or phrases. Very interesting.

  2. Thanks, Joel. Wonder what “incremental” says about me since it’s my word for 2012? I love being analyzed. Seriously, I do. I’m a psych major from way back and used to sign up for the experiments on campus. I think it’s interesting to get to know ourselves better (well, I think that most of the time). I just quoted George Carlin in a blog post I wrote for another’s website. : ) I appreciate you stopping by!
