Chicken Wire Canoe

Have you ever received advice from a friend, a colleague, or even a total stranger that was unrelated to the subject or lacked any value? It's happened to me on more than one occasion. I shared a story about this very issue to a friend of mine who said, "That advice is about as useful as a chicken wire canoe." Well, I was exuberant when I heard such a descriptive phrase: As useful as a chicken wire canoe. It is in this spirit that I will be using this blog to provide comments, opinions and advice that hopefully are more useful than a chicken wire canoe.
