Nobody’s
going to miss Radio Shack. I still miss Borders.
The
point of social media is not to tell others how you’re doing but to remind
yourself how you’re doing. You share to make yourself aware.
People
at the fitness club who jump onto an elliptical for maybe 10 minutes tops and
imagine they’re getting good cardio workout. Lazybones
Stepping
down & up from your current job, and partitioning it among rivals, is not
stepping down. It’s wrapping oneself more tightly around.
Monocles.
Did peoples’s vision improve from the lens or from squinting to keep the stupid

Just
finished watching the seventh of seven episodes of “The Roosevelts.” Eleanor
