Short, fast, and least work
This we all seek, endlessly
Not even aware
At times successful
At other times, try again
But always seeking
Do it, try again
It is all trial and error
Until perfected
And not just humans
All animals' and insects'
Operating rules
In the office of my eye doctor, in 2003, I was looking at magazines while I waited. Being in the business, I noticed two things: #1 the magazines were from the year 2000; and #2 not one of the ads contained an internet address. This indicated the flux in which we were. It was interesting to me, and I made mental note of it.
An hour later, while waiting in the lobby for the Rotary Club meeting and lunch to commence in the Archibald Room of the Galt House, I told a visiting Rotarian from Bowling Green of my experience. A short time later we were, by chance, sitting at the same table among the 350 members present, it was a very large club. This same guy was sitting across from me at a table for eight.
Much to my surprise and chagrin, he related that while he was waiting for his eye appointment, he noticed the absence of internet addresses in the ads in the magazines which were from about the year 2000! I was astounded.
He hijacked my experience. Decorum kept me from calling him out. Now 20 years later, I still feel a little resentment towards him, even though I don't even remember what he looked like. He may be related to Joe Biden.
