Even if nobody asked..
1. I decided to delete a ton of emails the other day. Went at it hard for 15-20 minutes. Solid progress. Until I noticed I was working from the trash box and not the IN box!
2. “I told you, Dean, we’re at this store again today because the manager told me they got new shipments every day.” Oh boy. I’ve seen this guy. Not long before he tells her they're getting shipments TWICE a day.
3. If you can UNDERSTAND God, you cannot WORSHIP God.
4. OKC (an NBA team, Leslie) has THREE Williams on a twelve-man roster, two of whom have the same first name (slightly different spelling). Good luck to that coach.
5. Nature is NOT our mother. Nature is our sister. We were both created. She has no authority over us. We are both works of beauty. Well, on most days.
6. “Let’s circle back on that” is the latest way of asking for permission to procrastinate.
7. Since I’ve become “Driving Mr. Daisy” I’ve noticed the different routes Trish, and I would take to the same place. Like, completely different. And, honey, why is Waze on if many of its instructions are to be ignored? Perhaps because Waze is recorded in Mr. Daisy’s voice, complete with his wording and sarcasm? Ah, now we’re starting to get somewhere.
8. STOP more books than you FINISH. Trust me. That’s how you get to the great ones.
9. When someone says “people have been asking me” you can be assured all the people asking them are in their own head. Can we stop this creepy practice please? Just say what you want to say.
10. Saw a young couple hurrying out of a house on my walk yesterday. She was carrying a big bag of stuff and dressed in what looked to me like a nightgown. I stopped to say hi and comment about this being “The Big Day”. I then asked if this was her first. She frowned. frowned deeper, paused a bit, and then threw her stuff in the SUV and turned back to me in haste: “Yeah, this is our FIRST, our first MARRIAGE.” Trish says this is why I should use a treadmill.
Thanks for indulging these thoughts. Your comments are awesome. You should SHARE them!
