    See if you do something heretical like leaving Facebook like I did way back when, there's always a chance that one day you'll look prescient. Even if you were just overwhelmed at the time.

    If you're scheming for your brand a short-notice, clever brackets campaign a la March Madness, but with single-elimination rounds between competing widgets or other things that are not basketball teams: Please. Step away from the cliche machine. Stand down. Just don't.

    Because the Weather Channel interns wanted us to take winter storms seriously, did they build lists from scary monsters or dangerous beings? No, they gave us Aiden, Skylar, Toby and other names of kids we might play tennis and share brunch with.

    A former schoolteacher of grammar Chose the criminal life for its glamour Where she once marked in red awkward leads and subheads Now she proofreads appeals from the slammer.

    Find an adjective? Kill it, Mark Twain said Gertrude Stein, bored by nouns, verbs promoted Stephen King sneered that adverbs Pave hell's road to both curbs So my lexicon's sadly depleted.

    Here's some herky-jerky hocus-pocus about reduplicatives, or whatever those word pairs should be called.

    Twitter needs a time-out feature. If you post something you learn was so dumb, drunk or foolish that you then delete the tweet, that's OK but your account is locked for new tweets for 280 minutes.

    My copy editor brain thinks, the parade is titled, not entitled, but my Nola brain says, OK, maybe they're right.

    Six years ago I said, "Earthlings, is that all you got? Send people." You are making progress. Will accept the mannequin if you throw in the Tesla. Burn when ready. I'll be here.

    Upper stage restart nominal, apogee raised to 7000 km. Will spend 5 hours getting zapped in Van Allen belts & then attempt final burn for Mars.

    Twitter, these "in case you missed it" posts you keep pushing? Anyone with a life has much missed what they planned to miss. Except the fresh posts we came to see. Ask that guy to tell you about a weird long ago when we could just see newest to oldest. Like we want it.

    This Marvin Lewis thing is a good reminder to play it safe and never say anything about your outgoing boss until a)he has another job b)somebody is already sitting in his old chair or c)you don't care how much you play next year.

    I like to imagine that the window-washer guy outside my high-rise office wall looks in and says, my job may be stressful but at least I don't have to edit the copy that guy sees.
