Mail delivery, ranch version
I’ve written before about our trip from Lubbock to Denver and back where we made it a point to stay off the Interstate. Routing that was a challenge, but we were up for it. And got to see this and this and this as a result.
And, on our last day on the road, we ran out of pavement in the far northeast corner of New Mexico, next to the mailbox for the Spool Ranch.
It was an excellent trip!

I am almost positive that “Adamsian” and O’Keeffeian” are the two best words I will read today.

I’m wearing my grants-writing hat today, working on some things for a Head Start proposal, so I do get to read things like “school readiness” and “evidenced-based” and “developmentally, linguistically, and culturally appropriate” none of which are as lovely as your two words!

Don’t forget “research-informed transformative methodologies.”

When I was in advertising I frequently included a “sacrificial layout” to give the client something to kill so he’d be more likely to choose our favored design. Once, a client needed help with a mission statement. I hate mission statements. At the time there was a tongue-in-cheek online Mission statement generator. I included a generated mission statement as our sacrificial offering. Problem is, the client liked it. A different client also chose a sacrificial layout. After that, I stopped doing sacrificial offerings.

I, also, hate mission statements.
How did you talk your way out of the client-liked-the-sacrificial-one situations?!

On the mission statement, I commented that upon further reflection I didn’t feel it was specific enough. On the layout, the client got the damned layout.

“Upon further reflection” covers a LOT of territory, doesn’t it?

Upon reflectioin, I see that it is buzz phrase in itself.
