You know, you don't hear much about Hillary. She's pretty likely to become the first female President, and yet there's almost no notice. What a weird election.

Trump believes all press coverage is good press coverage. The media does love a train wreck.

My theory about Trump is that he's an idiot. And that he is an idiot by choice, lacking any drive to learn anything.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Press generates $$ for him in most cases. People buy his books, merch. His speaking fees go up, his kids get more exposure, they get speaking bookings. I really think it is all about the $$ and now a little about the worship.

Things my office is horrible about: documentation and communication. It makes many things 10x harder than they need to be and kills efficiencies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just ate a full pint of grape tomatoes. They were so delicious! Now I feel good about my decision to buy a slice of pizza for lunch -- it was a good well-rounded meal.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Reading through a design and construction website, I found an article about how Sherwin-Williams has picked its color of the year for 2017.

(If you can't stand the suspense of having to click through, it's "Poised Taupe" ... aka BEIGE.)

"Poised Taupe"

I really prefer "Socially Awkward Taupe", it's more subtle.

Poised taupe? Dear lord. (It's a darker color than I would've thought, but...still. If that's 2017 I'm not super interested in the future)

Too much work. Not enough motivation.

"Poised taupe" is certainly my phrase of 2017!
