    Could there be a Guest Blog post to share why you think your parents couldn’t make it stick?
    Was it too easy to be lazy?
    What if it would have been easier to work hard and feel great?

    No e-mail notifications.
    I subscribe to your comments feed (RSS) through my feed aggregator (Google Reader). It’s separate from a similar RSS feed for your blog posts. So, I can check that comments feed for any new comments. But no e-mail alerts for new comments. I still have to make an active effort to check my RSS updates.

    They are starting to seem old fashioned…. :)
