Signs of summer
how to get ahead without really trying
There’s a woman in New York with the same name as me. In the same field. We even look alike, or so I am told. Her career is going great. I live it vicariously because I get misdirected email for her sometimes.
Reading Comprehension
My pre-coffee reading comprehension is obviously declining.
This morning I read a bit of fluff in the Washington Post Style section about the various Presidential candidates and the songs they’re using at public appearances. I spent way, way more time than I should ever admit to pondering the question, “Why would [tag]Joe Biden[/tag] choose the [tag]J. Geils Band[/tag]’s “Centerfold” as a campaign anthem?”
(Answer: he didn’t. It was [tag]John Fogerty[/tag]’s “Centerfield.”)
I finished catching up on every last email I needed to answer while in that same semi-lucid haze. That may not have been smart…
Nevertheless, now I can turn my attention back to the latest [tag]iphone nano[/tag] rumors.

A little girl who couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old, after looking at the Tigers: “I want them to be in the wild and have healthcare and food.”
What kid uses the word healthcare? Besides that one. It was spooky.
