AndThenSomeWorks.com announces Very Personal, a new essay subject on the website. The three new essays in this section have never been on the blog nor published previously, and they reveal a personal side of me, Richard L. Weaver II, that I have not yet talked about. The first essay answers the question, Why do I read?, and if you're a reader, you'll quickly identify with the insights shared. The second essay, Trying to understand everything, answers a question a student asked me: "Do you know everything?" How I answered that question is in the essay, and, believe me, it was a difficult situation. The third essay is about the joy and usefulness there is in being handy --- how I learned it and how I have applied it. There's lots of new information in these three essays that you'll find both interesting and insightful. Also, And Then Some wants to wish you all the best for the holiday season.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
Traveling by guess and by gosh II
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Just as we got off the bus in downtown Palmyra, there was a loudspeaker announcement that an historic walking tour of the Erie Canal would be taking place, and all those interested should gather at the main information booth. Just our luck! We met our tour guide and then the five other people taking the tour with us. Our guide showed us the old stores that serviced the canal, the hotels and storage sheds, and some of the old homes. He pointed out, too, how the bed of the canal had changed three times as it had been widened and deepened. He told us that in the time of the canal, traffic was constant day and night, but now most all canal traffic is recreational boats and tourist excursions. All the locks remain in working condition.
