The first two paragraphs of Thursday's essay, "Bar Harbor, Maine,'" read as follows:
We left Sunset Point Campground (Harrington, Maine) at 10:20 a.m. bound for Hadley Point Campground just outside Bar Harbor. It was only 56.9 miles and took 1 hour and 20 minutes. We were towing our fifth wheel, and as soon as we had paid for two nights ($67.41) and set up camp, we left for the town of Bar Harbor.
Our stop in Bar Harbor followed our 14-day trip around the Canadian side of Lake Superior, and it was only our second day back in the United States.

The first paragraph of Thursday's essay, "Live with Passion,'" reads as follows:
As a professor of speech communication I lectured to thousands of students during my 22 years at Bowling Green State University — over 1,000 per term in a basic speech course and close to 300 per term in a 300-level interpersonal-communication course. In some cases the terms were semesters, and in others the terms were trimesters. I was often asked, “How do you do it?” And the best, most concise, accurate answer was always, “passion” — strong emotion.
Thursday's Essay Excerpt - from the last paragraph of the essay
But it is not really an accident (chance) at all; it happens because I am prepared, and preparation in any field, discipline, domain, occupation, area, branch, or sphere is the key. You don’t prepare because you know what the future holds, you prepare to lay the foundation for a productive and active life!
