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!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That color is not beige; beige would be inoffensive. That color actively repulses me. It would make me angry to be in a room painted that color. If PMS were a color, it would be that color.

I like the color, but that's probably because I've gotten used to it over the past few years that it's been popular. (It's basically a darker "greige," right?) A thing I recognize about myself is that I eventually like most popular things.

I think it is pinker than greige. I actually like the color too- I painted my apartment variations on that color in 1999.
