Among the words that recently I’ve come to detest from overuse are “unprecedented” and “broken.” And now it’s time to add “disrupt” to the list. I understand the desire to shake things up.

Change is Apparent…in my Pocket, in my Climate
Sometimes I forget to take change out of my pocket because I’m waiting until I get to my office desk and I can dump them into the little box I use to collect coins.
