Smithsonian visiting scholar who lives in Ann Arbor ,

State
One
of these days I'm gonna return to my alma mater, U-Mich Ann Arbor, & hold a
hippie tweetup on the Diag. Gonna call it the "Hashtag Bash"
People
need to stop asking the vague leading question "is so-and-so
relevant?" Cite the context first. Anything is relevant to something.
I
always thought "hand-ker-CHIEF!" sounded like someone knowing sneeze
was coming, bracing, & then letting loose. But it's not onomatopoeia
A
reliable, trustworthy, inexpensive auto mechanic is someone you hold onto. As
important a good financial advisor. We have both.
A
nice cold bottle of beer is deep relaxation when you are absolutely not paying
attention to anything at all & you have your music playing
Heard
George Orwell & Franz Kafka referenced a few too many times at yesterday's
Smithsonian event. They werent analysts. They wrote fiction
At
yesterday's Smithsonian event, I referred to my employer in the concrete, but
others seemed to refer to #IBM
as some sort of symbol.

Nice
morning, blue and frozen. Nothing stirring. Even the leaves are still, and
