:) three words that the person running the game (Sho) picked at random.
:) "In the style of" involved writing about a topic that the person

:) Raymond Chandler buys some eggs at the corner store, or Socrates goes
:) to the barber, or Millie The White House Dog explains C coding).

  I second the motion for these weekly writing exercises to be
continued!  If the exercises were too much work for the original
runners, I would volunteer some of my time towards getting them
running again.

Thanks,
