I'm a fan of Ann Lamott. And I'm a big fan of baby steps. it's the only way I get anything done. Have fun on your trip, R.

I'm glad Mrs. SPG is feeling better.

Me - sore knees, sore hip, sore shoulders. otherwise everything is great. Well, sort of great. Last night there was a skunk in my backyard. I'm not noticing anything right now. Hope it's not just olfactory fatigue.

I had a thought. As you know I do a lot of talking about PR and don't do anything about it. My new addiction is watching Facebook reels. That's since my last virus that hit when I was playing solitaire, so I've given up computer solitaire. Anyway, On the reels, they always say the same things - "They were shocked" "stunned" amazed" "jaws dropped" heartwarming" heartbreaking" "bizarre twist" "you won't believe" "genius" I consider these cliches since they are used so often. But if they work . . . I couldn't use them in my writing. They're just so corny, overused, cliche hackneyed. Oh, "hack" is another one. Anyway, should I use them in PR material?
