Our line.

I was reading an email over my wife’s shoulder (she loves that!). For some dorky reason, it made me think of the conjunction ‘and.’

During a workshop with a group of managers, I brought up the idea of having to take all the blame and pass off all the praise. It garnered a sort of visceral reaction.

One night a couple weeks ago, K was relaxing. She had picked a Netflix series called ‘Explained.’ Specifically, the episode about (wait for it)… exclamation marks.

I was on a call this week with a bunch of alumni from the OIA Future Leadership Academy. Something that was said struck me.

A while ago, my older brother Cosmo posted about email on his blog. A sort of History of My Email Frequency story.

It’s not, well, ever that our little town of Wenatchee, Washington makes national headlines.

Working with a new client, I sent their group of managers a survey through Google Forms. They found it in their spam folder. Oops.

I had something random-but-not-random all lined up for this week. Then I heard Amanda Gorman recite her poem The Hill We Climb.
