Coffee and new words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This morning's text from Meat came in at 9:15. "Tater's making Bloody Marys, don't be a bimpert." I'd probably pass, but I knew they'd have coffee, and I needed to know what Meat called me. So I got my shoes on and wandered next door. Tater had a cup ready when I walked in. "Morning, SJ. What do you think of the new words the Oxford Dictionary announced?" The lightbulb came on. "Have you been teaching Meat new words again? You know he's not allowed to know things ahead of me. I haven't seen the

I could tell you some stories you'd never believe. Thank goodness we didn't have Faceplant and Instadope back then.

Deadlines were missed. But I have to admit, the news did catch me off guard. It hadn't been a good week. I don't expect bad news generally. But I've had a lot of it in the last year and my reflex now is to roll in anticipation. Easier to roll with it when you're leaning the right way. Last week I had my four-month

Sometimes it's good to take stock. How are those SpaceX shares doing? The IPO price was $150 a share, which rose to $225 in a couple of days. One of their rockets just touched down on the moon at 5,400 miles per hour. No one actually saw it arrive, but it did leave a debris and dust cloud a few miles high. A quick check at press time and SpaceX shares are going for a little over $110. Elon say it ain't so! Must be a blip. I'm sure Tesla is just killing it. Let's see. On the day of the SpaceX IPO
