The Replies Book

Somewhere to hide.

Grey or brown is unsafe at any speed.

A dark color is not a conspicuously safe choice because…it’s not conspicuous at all.

It’s also surprisingly unsurprising and fails to add to the Joie de vivre and feeling of flippant innovation, discovery and possibility, that adds sauce to the daily staples of life.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Even if we didn’t.

Because we are powerful, persuasive and politically connected.

And the last of those should ring alarm bells!

But not to worry (!), the alarms have rung and are now quiet.

A chance to sit and sip and be honest.

What a relief, what a way to be!

Trace and place the lace.

It was a doily handed down by three generations of grandmothers.

This means that it was crocheted in the early 1800’s.

The stories that we can file for the many people involved in this line of descendants, are legion, numerous and illuminating.

We learn more about the history of these different eras via the doily story than from a teacher.

Because it all seems so damn relevant.

Teaching customer service in schools!

Once someone becomes a natural, fluent, fluid and interpretive customer service-oriented person – empathy, folks – they are likely to design, build, create or make thoroughly easy-to-use and delightful things and services.

Yes, it does need teaching because it’s one great step towards compassion, communication and all good things.

Always towards a better world.

Somewhere to go.

A new book, old in fact but new to me.

A fast and firm friend.

A recipe for enjoyment.

A lifelong possibility.

The republic seems to be in a state of turmoil, so we have to make sure the result is just…better.
