Day 277: Very Unique
My son and I, who are both a little snobby about grammar, often bemoan the use of the term “very unique.” We say, “Unique means one of a kind! How can something be very one of a kind?” And we sneer a little bit, verbally and facially. (That’s how grammar snobs are.) So why did […]
Day 1413: ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about the title of today’s post is right here: ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about that photo includes the fact that I took it last night at Target.

Day 770: Am I blue?
Am I blue? I have some reasons to be blue, this morning: More white-and-sometimes-blue snow is piling up around here, in Boston USA. Mary — whom I was looking forward to seeing, after her return from a two-week vacation — won’t be coming in today to the hospital where we work together. I’m going to be the […]
