Note: this is a longer than usual blurb, but I would encourage you to read it all the way through. In defiance of standard online writing conventions, the best part is not in paragraph one.

OK – “What Stretched Your Neck Today” is a strange subject line. And I don’t want to say too much about it because I want to use it in the Talky Bit. I am willing to say that I’m not using it in the “wild west colloquial” sense of “being hanged by the neck”. How about this…let’s have a contest. The first person who can tell me what ancient Greek word might include the idea of “stretching your neck to see” as one of it’s less common definitions will win free Timbits – to be collected when we start regathering at Creative Manitoba again. I feel great about that idea.
