Ardell and I write many posts and comments every day, and we each of us write with our own unique, easily-identified style. We are both smart, both opinionated, and both very forthcoming &#8212; to say the least &#8212; with our views. Moreover, each of has a very high moral commitment to quality in everything we do. So, although there may be a lot of blog entries posted in this contest, I don&#8217;t think there will be any wasted entries. Your attention will be repaid with knowledge, insight, wisdom and, one hopes, grace.<\/p>\n<p>I have beside me two quad-shot lattes, two chicken breasts, a glass of orange juice and a glass of water.
