Good morning. Good stuff, thanks for the heads-up.

Wwhen you sell creativity for a living, you cannot afford to run out of ideas (cause children like to eat). To stay in business everyone I know keeps a morgue. We use our morgues to kick start the creative side of our own brains – not copy someone else’s work.

This was a good week for me. I found three new works, that intrigued me (including yours). No, you are not in a morgue, per se, you are in my creative brain trust.

In his comment to another Medium writer, Adrian Moine wrote: “If you want to hear a person that is also always on point and capable of explaining his ideas clearly, I highly recommend you follow Beau of the Fifth Column on YouTube. Videos are usually between 4 and 8 minutes. Don't be put off by his white southerner appearance. He's beyond liberal and knows what he's talking about.” Well, I live in Kentucky, so that intrigued me and I went looking for Beau.

Thinking Beau might spark some fresh ideas for you, here are a few samples.

Rural America is my home. I serve diner, gourmet, seven course, and homecooked thoughts — but spare me chain food served on thoughtless trains of thought.
