Small Victories: Winning & Losing
In 2012 I lost my job, gentlemen.
It was a great gig, had my own cozy office—was up for a promotion in February and had a multitude of 2013 projects in the works for numerous clients.
And just like that, unexpectedly, I was let go on a Wednesday afternoon. The reasoning was cloudy and a bit dodgy—departmental cuts? I’m more of a writer? Which only made matters worse.
The Gentleman’s Handshake
Did you know that prior to Andrew Jackson’s presidency Americans used to bow as a greeting?
Americans still used a lot of British formalities until Ole Hickory Andrew Jackson, a southern gentleman and people person, began using the handshake for its intimacy and casual nature.
Mostly self educated, when criticized for his misspelling of words he famously quipped:
“It’s a damn poor mind who can think of only one way to spell a word.”
(Oh and he also dueled, like..a lot.)

1922.
The man gave Peggy a long, keen look as though searching his memory. Peggy’s brain sped backward. “Yes it’s me,” she said. “I’ve wondered what it would have been like for me if that shark got you.”
If you love a man so badly that it hurts, and you know you’re only a counterfeit like me, should you take what the gods offer, or should you leave him for some other girl who could give him children with real blood instead of the counterfeit thing?
