Last summer, Roger asked me to read the manuscript for the 25th anniversary updated edition of A WHACK. The book, which was just released, is a must read for anyone interested in boosting creativity. Available on Amazon here.

An easy fix for this would be to have tabs, so I can easily search for and select emails I need to reference, and toggle between different emails, while writing an email.

[update: it’s been ages since I’ve used Outlook - doesn’t it have this ability? Yahoo Mail does.]

Does anybody else share this frustration?

Good luck Adam!

The outdoor spaces could also be used for urban farming, and localizing the food supply.

and, of course, my tower concept structure with neighborhoods, and classic homes.
