Looking up at the balcony, she saw the love of her life.

Later, at home, she saw the same person on the evening news show.

Very entertaining.

They met for coffee, here and there.

They liked what they said, what they heard, what they saw.

Years later they felt rewarded, lucky, fortunate and oh so special.

We achieve a harmonious buoyancy just by hearing about their story.

And, the world was one.

What a fine bag?

It was so exceptional and conferred the status of a wise, generous, affable, charismatic soothsayer upon all who owned one.

We are predicting history into the future, the bag has not been made, but we will get it started in a while and be very careful who we allow to buy one.

Selective does not mean biased, but it can be tricky.

The better bags of betterment beget ballistic benevolence.

Flying first, shuffling economy.

Are we to talk about travel, the economy or neither?

Your vote counts.

You bet! Or, shall we say, it is counted. There’s a difference!

Straightforward, plain speaking truth is not in fashion. It may have been three thousand nine hundred and twelve years since it was the norm.

I’d love a rich, foaming double espresso.

Doble. Yes please.

Sliding past the onlookers hidden behind polished shop windows, we came to an abrupt holt in front of the comedy playhouse.

Tweedle and Twiddle were the funniest of their era. Some said they were just an error, but we laughed so much, so much that we are still laughing 873 days later.

Such serious observations need to be backed up by numbers, statistics and ballyhoo.

Easily available at any street corner…that’s what they sell.
