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.

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.

Second serving of floating sugar with fruit extracts.

A menu, formula, recipe, concoction, assembly, combination and inspired recipe for life’s memorable moments.

It was good. Better still, it was often framed and put on the mantle above many a fireplace.

So many homes, so many tomes and a principle.

Secrets.
