When I was younger and unmarried, I was an enthusiastic fan of pulchritude.
High Fashion
Snazzy was a jazz and hipster term that escaped from the reservation and made it into everyday talk.
Fear and a bit of Loathing
Do you know what the "Cut" is? For the uninformed, it's a maneuver where you focus your gaze somewhere over their shoulder as you pass someone by—done with an erect head and a priggish look on your face.
Foundations
One of the foundation myths for my mother's family was that they are descended from a first mate on one of Henry Morgan's ships.
Deals!!!!
I consider rebates to be a kind of iniquity. I must send in the information electronically or by mail, wait until it is verified, and wait until the rebate is redeemed. Frequently this takes so long that I am left trying to figure out where the check for $1.98 came from.
How It Works
The popular press and media like to paint human creativity as extraordinary "aha!' sort of moments. And I guess that some creative insights do fall into that category.
Town Meeting
What I found most amazing was that so much agreement and unity had come out of such vigorous dispute.
Originality
It was perhaps ten PM. Sitting in the back of the coffeehouse Rienzi, my girlfriend practiced her version of "A High flying Bird"
Little Boxes
I've avoided being the sort of guy whose calendar book is full of checkable events.
Treasure
Garbage collection is such a twentieth-century thing.
