Selling apples by the thought.

Easy to feel an appetite for the thing that is considered to be a delicacy.

How delicate it is may be disputed, but if people wait in line at the deli counter when a shipment arrives it seems so special.

Along the road they eat roasted Brussels sprouts.

Shindigs, cold showers and lions.

The railing either side of the new Walmart entrance will be there to make it look like you are entering an airport.

The ceiling at an Urban Outfitters store gives in to the idea that you are tougher yet more fashionable than ever.

The color of the health spa walls is designed to sooth and hint at promises of healing and comfort.

You can paint your house whatever color you like.

You can come out of hiding and have a car in any color instead of invisible-road-grey or deep-no-comment-metallic-pipe-fitting boredom.

Snippets and decanters, dancers and roman candles.

What can we make of it and why could we want to try?

An epic in the making. Sure to be a bit hit. All the headlines will cry, laugh and admire this state of affairs.

No, not those affairs. These affairs. Do pay attention!

We deliver in the same era.

What an epoch!

Nonsense and wisdom

At odds – or one allows the clear identification of the other.

There is a joke we are not going to tell, a credit card we are not applying for and a language we may never learn. Who knows!

We do not want to show anything, we are much more excited about continuing to be something.

So go, relax, take a breath, eat spinach and drink cool, clear water.

We are replacing the day with the year and the minute with the month.

This is a monumental task and so we will employ everyone in the world.

Imagine how this will be! One boss for everyone. No more yelping about leadership. No choice, no choosing, no procrastinating.

You may wonder whether this a good thing. I do too!
