Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

Why we write... or why I write.... or something

Found this item in BestLife magazine, a magazine that tells men how to be .... men. Or something like that. I just can't afford the wardrobe they recommend. It also helps if you are movie star handsome and about 35 years old. But it did have this wonderful news which helps explain why I write for 30 minutes every morning and why I keep three blogs going. Not to mention the other million plus bloggers out there. [the comments are mine]
BARD BRAIN [men's magazines always go for the clever pun]
Putting pen to paper is good for the gray matter. A study at the Rochester Psychiatric Center [men are also into REAL FACTS as demonstrated by the impressive sounding study] found that writing can decrease stress levels [bold letters in original - real men like to be shown what's important so they can skip reading all those dull details] and improve memory. All 86 participants showed fewer signs of stress and performed better on memory tests after an hour-long writing period that they did before it [now what was my point? Can't remember.] regardless of the topic they wrote about.
I am sure that the editors intended to put in a line about how this would get more girls to sleep with you, but the illiterate typesetters must have left it out.
