however, school and work hours would be a bit longer each day.

What are your thoughts about a FOUR (4) day work/school week?
What are the advantages? Disadvantages?

Some SPORTS associations are thinking of starting up again!

Some other guidelines include:

- no spitting
- no showering
- limited travel

Do you think SPORTS should return?
Would you play with NO fans?
How do you feel about the guidelines?

This topic is FREE CHOICE! - I did not run out of topics :) 

As a free choice blog, you could blog about whatever you want (except what we've already blogged about!)  
If you want to go on a rant, go for it! If you want to blog about something important to you, go for it!

Be creative and write about something you feel important or something you would like to tell your audience. Write about something you are passionate about. GO OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!

You must remember your audience.  It is not simply me (Mr. Katz) reading this blog!  

If you will be ranting about a certain individual, you need to leave their name out of this.  

You could give them a pseudonym (example: Mr. Ed) or simply leave their name as anonymous.

Make sure your language is appropriate.  Do not go on swearing tangents!
