The following collection is the results of the first ever interactive Friday’s Note experiment. I would like to thank those who helped contribute to this publication. Of course the huge influx of pictures forced the creation of an evaluation committee and multiple rounds of scoring the planking snapshots using a fourteen point scale measuring everything from creativity to composition and continuity. The executive committee then evaluated the scoring and settled on the following select pictures for this Friday’s Note.
The first picture is of my great nephew Tommy. Of course I can’t tell if he is truly planking or if he is tossing a fit in his Buckeye jersey after finding out that Jim Tressel will no longer will be the coach at THE Ohio State University. 
The second picture is of my second great nephew. This picture shows there is often a fine line between planking and a CPS driven instance. “Hang in there buddy – mommy is just about done with the picture ---- don’t move."
The next couple of planks are from my friend Shawn in Connecticut who charged his two kids to 'get planking'. The first plank is the traditional back-to-school plank or a commentary on the importance of Social S
studies. The second plank offers a whole new view of the drive through line and such a planking can lead to an extended conversation with the school counselor. “Honest, it’s just for fun, it’s called planking.”
The following planking changes scenery. I think Shawn's son will find that during college he likely will need to change his polarity for this particular planking. "Hey, did anyone else notice just how much hair is stuck in the drain?
Thank you to all who contributed to this Friday's Note. Keep planking just because you can - or force your kids to do it.
