Wednesday morning, May 17

May 17, 2017

1) A bogeyman is something that frightens you. A boogie man is a man who knows how to boogie. Don't get them mixed.

1a) This is not to say that a man who knows how to boogie might not also frighten you. Chacun à son goût, dahling.

2) Lovely spring weather has me sneezing ferociously. No complaints (except from my colleagues in earshot, no doubt).

3) These old people who think they know me so well always give themselves away when they call me Bob.
