Starting at Day One

By Jimmy Johnson

Today’s classic A&J is from January, 3, 2017. Yes, it’s that time of year, time for us cheapskates to go calendar shopping! I realize I’m in danger of stereotyping (I live my life in danger of stereotyping.), but in my experience women are more likely to favor a paper calendar than men, for the same reasoning as Arlo’s. It doesn’t matter what happens elsewhere, you write something on a calendar and, Boom! You got it. Men, on the other hand, figure they don’t really need a calendar. Having said that, I have been known to haunt the calendar bin at the book store, looking for a bargain when the demand falls off. I can usually pick up a good deal on something like, “Small and Very Frightened Mammals of the Serengeti.”

    I believe what you said was very reasonable.

    But, think on this, what if you were to create a awesome headline?
    I ain’t suggesting your information is not good., but what if you added a title that makes
    people desire more? I mean Starting at Day One –
    Home of the comic strip Arlo & Janis is a little vanilla.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write article titles
    to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to
    grab people interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could bring your
    blog a little livelier. scoliosis surgery https://0401mm.tumblr.com/ scoliosis surgery
