“Entirely adequate” was a common newsroom compliment during my copy-editing days.
If you don’t think it’s a compliment, then you’ve never worked at a newspaper.
It’s also a bit of a mantra: Most things in life turn out to be entirely adequate, and that isn’t the worst thing you can ask for.
Random facts about me:
- I’m a recovering newspaper copy editor turned technical writer, an utter geek and a reckless culinary adventurer with a bad case of the elsewheres.
- I’m married to smart, funny guy named Bill. I make it a point to fall in love with him at least once a day.
- I used to have two cats, Yin and Yang. Now I just have Yang.
- I named my car Pica.
- I named my brother’s daughter after a Star Trek character.
- My naming services are available for a nominal fee.
- Like the poet Sparrow, I will never stop smoking. My next cigarette is penciled in for June 8, 2012.
- My mom is 64 years AWESOME and has lived through two once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes.
I’ve got a Steve & love him oodles.
We have six cats, and a dog, plus I feed a pounce of strays.
I, too, am available for naming services!!!
My Mom was my BFF until she died in 2002. CHERISH the time you have w/yours.
Nice to meet you.
yarr!
I named my car Renegale
I really enjoy EntirelyAdequate! And, yes your hubby is indeed smart and funny. You need to get him to do the “AirMan” thing and post it here. Cracks me up everytime!
I have several cars and have named none of them.
Am I potential client? Possibly!
P.S. Great to meet you today.
Admittedly, some cars are much easier to name than others.
It was great to meet you too. I hope to see you at B&B again.
I plan to come to the meeting at the end of the month, assuming something else doesn’t conflict. I was happy that I was able to stay as long as I did. The other meeting started a bit late.
Just dropping by.
“I used to have two cats, Yin and Yang.”
Interesting!
“I named my brother’s daughter after a Star Trek character.”
Is it – Uhura?
Annika … Seven of Nine’s original name. It’s not a completely made-up name, but Star Trek was the first reference to it that I spotted.
