The task can be done. Sam can't be done unless he's a task or a roast or
something that was cooking. ;-) It's a silly

When I write, I rarely start in front of a monitor at first. Normally it's
with a pen and a pad of paper at a local starbucks/coffee house or hanging

I know some of you in this group are technical writers - you know who you
