If Clothing Makes the Man, then Who Makes the Clothing?

Let's talk about the fabric of life today. We are all woven together in a grand tapestry of life. Hmm. This sounds a bit too much like a Carole King song. Let's jump into a fabric-related CoV.

Oh, you are NOT going to believe what I found yesterday. For years, I have taken grief because I claimed to have a read a short story about gum that chewed back. Once the internet became available, I searched for this story to no avail. Somehow, yesterday, I entered the search in such a way as to get a hit. Yes, I found the name of the story and will search for it. The story, The Affair at 7 Rue de M--, was written by John Steinbeck. The synopsis says "In it, a kid who loves to chew gum finds himself being chewed by the gum. His father tries many ways to get rid of the gum, but it keeps finding its way back to their house, in horror movie fashion, eager to get back into the kid's mouth."

OK, now that the self-serving comments are over, let's see what else we can discuss. Oh, Alison is moving in with a friend in Casa Grande next week. Her current 40-mile commute will be a 2-mile commute. She promises to look for a church home there, too. The girl she car-pooled with this year had a baby, so they would not be car-pooling this coming school year. So, U-Haul, here we come.

The changes related to our re-org at work are still in flux. So, we just keep doing what we have been doing until further notice. I wish we would just get it done so we can begin to make the changes needed for the new org and build our new processes.

Gum that chewed back. Can you believe it?

Well, I have chewed your ears off for long enough today. Let's all get going on pre-Friday and meet again on Friday.
