A
collector of odd words and phrases am I.
So here’s the thing: my Notepad has a special collection begging to
post. What it is is a lighter follow-up
to a previous play with words last May: “What
I’m driving at is ... economy of words.”
It’s
scary how Halloween is such a major diversion.
The thing is, we're not into the holiday that much, although our
grandkids certainly have fun with it. Now what I’m remembering is some cute characters like three amigos and Barney
the dinosaur.
What
I do is write these things on the fly during phone meetings and online
news talk. Call it keyboarding
practice to slow my mental decline – that’s what it is.
The
point I'm trying to make is ... actually, what I'm trying to say is ...
Oh,
what’s the use!
