Recreation
Topic: Chess
My brother Mark introduced me to an On-line Chess Site that we use to keep in touch. (He lives several states away from our home in Mobile, Alabama.) It is easy to use and does not cost anything to join and play.

Of course GameKnot does have paid membership options. The paid membership allows you many benefits that a free membership does not provide. Check it out.

Chess is a great way to keep your brain power challenged. Go there now. I CHALLENGE YOU TO PLAY CHESS ONLINE WITH ME OR ANYONE IN GAMEKNOT'S WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF CHESS PLAYERS. Enjoy a break from your routine and work your mind in a different way.

Until next time... and as always, I remain... Frank

Publishing
Topic: Publishing
Hello again! I've been looking for a publisher for my business and personal works and learned about Lulu through Early To Rise. I should be publishing some of my work soon. Keep a close watch on my Blog so I can let you know when you can review my stuff. In the meantime, if you are looking to publish any of your work, check it out. Until next time, as always... I am Frank

Rush Hour Web Traffic
Topic: Software
I found a software program that will increase your chances of getting more people to visit your web site. It is called Rush Hour Web Traffic. Stephen A. Pierce shares 12 "Cheap & Ugly" but brutally effective strategies for the little guy. (His words.) Check it out by clicking above. Let me know what you think of his strategies. Until next time... I am Frank

Prayer
Topic: Beliefs

I have been a member of The Presidential Prayer Team for a couple of years now. Please don't get all political on me. I do not agree with all that our President does and say. But, I do believe that he needs our prayers. (See I Timothy 2:1&2) If you choose to pray for our leaders, check out the web site. You can join for free. Our nation and the world will appreciate you. Until next time... I am and will always be Frank..... (Presidential Prayer Team Member #256110 May 2002)

Photography
Topic: Resources
My sister and her teenaged daughter drove down from Nashville, Tennessee to visit family and friends this past week. Donna told me that my niece Andrea loves the historic homes in and near the downtown Mobile, Alabama area. But she said that finding photographs of the homes were scarce. Donna told me that Andrea was interested in taking photographs of the homes and selling signed and numbered prints on the internet. We even discussed Andrea publishing a book of her photographs. (Andrea got a digital camera for Christmas because she loves taking photographs. I can't wait to see her current portfolio!)

I found a web site called "Photo Stock Plus" several months ago and told her I would send her the web address. Well, you know me, I've got to share this resource with everyone who reads my blog. Click on one or both of the banners below and check it out.

"Photo Stock Plus" is a great resource for obtaining, selling or sharing photographs with friends, family, or business associates.





Take a look and let me know what you think. I have stacks of negatives and photographs (from about 40 years of my life) that I am itching to post on the internet. However, Andrea will more than likely get her collection on the web before I do. I am sure that you will see her name again.

Until later, I am and will always be... Frank
