Mark Twain
I think I’ve mentioned my love of Mark Twain once or twice in this space previously. One of the topics upon which Twain commented was the weather. His most famous quote (which may not actually have been written by him) was that “Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” Well, I’m not sure we can do much about the weather (we’ll save the climate change discussion for another day) but we can use it for a quick thought about business.

Mondays are always interesting. I’d find I could gauge how interesting they were going to be based on the response I got when I asked “how was your weekend.” It was a pretty direct correlation – the more interesting the weekend, the more difficult Monday was going to be.

I’m watching the highlight and up from the lower portion of the screen comes a graphic describing what I’m seeing (no, the closed captioning wasn’t on..). The graphic obscures a good 15% of the screen and all of the lower part. The issue is that the hole was in the lower part and so the viewer never actually sees the highlight of the ball going in the hole (or maybe it nearly missed – who could tell). What does this have to do with sauces? Continue reading
