That is a lame headline even for Lame Post Friday. If I come up with something better before I hit publish, I’ll fix it and change the lead. Oh, editing. If only I did more of it. I’ve talked about edited and polished vs. pure inspiration. Alas, I have no inspiration today. But, as you see, I am writing anyways, so those of you who were gearing up for the superior lecture on how One Must Not Await Inspiration, stand down.
Isn’t that a lovely expression? “Stand down.” More military than “Sit down.” More dignified than “Shut up.” I think I will use it more often.
Astute readers have guessed by now that I spent my breaks at work doing cryptogram or crossword puzzles rather than writing a blog post. I also looked at the list I wrote on Tuesday of things to accomplish this week. I reflected that I have many things to do between today and tomorrow. Then I went back to the puzzle at hand. I am quite addicted to cryptogram puzzles.
Waaaait a minute. I wrote that list on Tuesday. Doesn’t that mean that I have till Tuesday of next week to complete the items on the list? I think it does.
In the meantime, it’s Friday. I have lines to learn for the play I’m in. I have work to do on the play I’m writing. I have dirty laundry and a messy house. I have a dog to walk and a husband to visit with (once he gets home from work). Full disclosure: I also have true crime shows to watch on cable television. I’m only human after all. Happy Friday, everyone.
