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 […]
For the past two weeks, I have had the Spanish phrase “mala fe” running through my daily consciousness. Popping up in my interactions with a select group of people. The phrase could literally be translated as bad faith. However, it means more that someone bears you ill will. […]
