When using VLOOKUP in Excel make sure to use the FALSE parameter on the end

If you don't specify the last parameter Excel does a "close enough is good enough" match which is REALLY annoying to debug.

A good general resource of the VLOOKUP function is here:

The real KFC recipe, maybe...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/travel/ct-kfc-recipe-revealed-20160818-story.html

"The original KFC chicken, I think, was better, because it had more breading to it," Ledington says. "It was individually hand-breaded and dropped in those pressure cookers. You cooked it until it started turning brown. And then you put the lid on the pressure cooker and brought it to 12 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes. And then you started letting the pressure off, and when you uncapped it and the pressure was off, it was perfect: golden brown and fall-off-the-bone."

Notes on storytelling

• Drama is anticipation with uncertainty.
• Great characters have a spine/theme (Marlin in the fish in Finding Nemo is all about avoiding harm to child).
• Wonder - capture them, draw them in
• Come from what you know and feel
• Vulnerability creates connection
