“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 turned research analyst, 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. Yang lived to be almost 18.
- I named my car Pica.
- Pica is 12 years old. Clearly, I am a fantastic owner of cars and cats.
- I named my brother’s daughter after a Star Trek character.
- My naming services are available for a nominal fee.
- My mom has lived through two once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes.
Entirely Adequate 
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.
I’m a teacher turned technical writer, turned wife cum mommy and blogger. Nice to meet you, Suzanne! So you’ve been blogging since ’08? That’s great! I’ve blogged since last March and would love for you to check out mine at http://www.thewritesteph.com !
