Inspired
Stumbling across Arts & Letters Daily today was like stumbling out of bed on Christmas morning to find more gifts than you could open in a day. Maybe it's the philosophy junkie in me. Or maybe there's enough content there to overwhelm anyone's appetite. It will take me the better part of a year to happily trudge through everything there.
Also, Digby started obedience training today. He is pouring all his energy into the class, if not the actual training and instruction. This has also inspired me to coin a new catchphrase for your use in casual (and eventually professional) conversation. And the catchphrase is...."that's not my puppy to train." This is a way of saying "hey, that's not my job" but not in the obnoxious way that people often use to shirk responsibility. It's more like saying that the person the statement references (the "puppy") has got to deal with it on his or her own, or "handle their biz." Example:
Frank: Dude, you should just ignore Sally, she's just trying to annoy you to draw attention to herself.Anyone? Well, it sounded better in my head. If David Mamet were in charge, we'd have more (and better) catchphrases.
Ernest: Hey, that's not my puppy to train.
That's another entry right there: WWDMD?
