“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 married to smart, funny guy named Bill. I make it a point to fall in love with him at least once a day.
- I have two 13-year-old cats, Yin and Yang, who have the stamina of cats a third their age.
- 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.
- I’m a recovering copy editor, a technical writer, an English graduate student and a pinball wizard.
- Like the poet Sparrow, I will never stop smoking. My next cigarette is penciled in for June 8, 2012.
- My mom is 60 61 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!!!
