Soon, the colder weather will be upon us - colder by Florida standards, anyway - and one of these nights, you will reach for the thermostat to turn the lever from “Cool” to “Heat.” When you do turn on that heater, be ready for dry eye syndrome.

I felt that each video was helpful in its' own way. Personally, the 'What Makes A Hero' video was the most helpful/informative video for me. Basically, it explained the common Hero's journey archetype which takes place in many stories. Essentially, the hero in a story is the archetypal predecessor of all humankind in general. The modern day hero is a culmination our ancestors' experiences over many generations. All societies have similar hero stories not because they coincidentally decided to…
