Greatest Strength? Experience and Inspiration. I have both in spades. Three divorces, a child, four and a half years living overseas, PLUS a year spent deployed to a third-world craphole, and having visited almost 1 of every 10 countries in the world so far, I think I've seen quite a bit. I've got more sky miles than some commuter airline pilots. And I've stood on five of the seven continents so far. Things to draw on for inspiration, or just for whatever. I've got 'em.

Weakness? Confidence. The will and the confidence to go on and just start. Someone else mentioned in another post about the first paragraph being the hardest to write, and everything else starts to flow after that. If I could bring myself to START, I'd be doing fine. THAT, however, is my problem...
