I order a lot of items from the Amazon website. Well, the app more specifically. I cannot recall the last time I went to the website. I do everything through my phone. I order groceries. I arrange for dogwalkers. I catch Netflix. As for my Amazon shopping habit, […]
Stop the presses. I did something unfathomable. A bit inconceivable. I love that word, by the way. Ever since I watched the Princess Bride, I have been amused by the word inconceivable. I just want to say it in numerous ways placing the emphasis in random places. Try […]
I am sometimes easily amused. I like to laugh. I’m also not readily offended. I do find some things, or rather some people, distasteful. But back to being amused. There are times when I sit in meetings or other discussions where I want to issue a disclaimer. I […]
