Says who?
Great one. I laughed, then I cried, then I laughed again!
excellent Venn Diagram!
I was just there but missed the granola. : (.
Funniest one yet!
We think very much alike. While mine would have different elements, I definitely tend to look at life as a series of Venn diagrams. It’s the only way to get through it all!
The escalator was broken yesterday
Problem is, Trader Joe’s escalator IS NOT running, and the shelves are half-empty, and many freezers not even turned on yet. I went there on Wednesday. So don’t rush back; they’re not quite ready yet. BUT everything is indeed shiny and new!
Just goes to confirm that the most effective way to analyze any modern-day problem is to start by asking “If not now, Venn?”.
What fun! A new paradigm for story-telling, in brief. Keep going!
