It's time for a balancing act word puzzle. Unscramble these words, and you'll know the topic of tomorrow's episode of Fun Fact Friday. Come back tomorrow for the solution to today's puzzle.
And if you happen to be in the Seattle area this weekend, head across Puget Sound for Port Orchard's 30th Annual Seagull Calling Festival. More about that coming up in Saturday's balancing act post. I'm highly skilled at grabbing a bag and getting away with it. But I'm not the only one, as you can see in this video from my ancestral homeland.

In my opinion, I aced the interview yesterday. The actual interview was conducted at a more private location, where nobody could hear us above the sound of crashing waves.
The bottom line is I will not know if I got the job until next Monday.
I said everything that needs to be said on Christmas Day. Now what? I went back to yesterday's post and listened to the link at the top. It inspired me to work on my James Brown dance moves out on the beach. But that didn't provide me with great material for today's post. I even dug into the blog archives to revisit my maiden post, just forty days ago. Brief and to the point, it was. I learned how to navigate in my vast, ever-expanding blog archives and find previous gems by re-reading my own highly educational post on the subject.
I tried my trusted trick of last resort, but when I took a deep dive into the nearest dumpster this morning, I came up empty. Nobody seems to be eating Popsicles this time of year. No Chinese take-out leftovers in there, either.
I see I am violating one of my cardinal (or seagull) rules of good writing: Avoid beginning sentences with I. Did I mention that each of the bold, underlined phrases above is a link to something I've posted previously? Did it occur to you there was a reason to follow those links? Just thought I'd ask. Too much competition! Every gull and his brother must have flown in for the weekend. I just turned around, took off, and flew back home.
