Two ways to take the headline …

first … and the second, third, fourth charges are due any moment.

first … oh my goodness.
I wonder which it is?
Kevin Spacey ordered to pay $31m to House of Cards producers.

No?

Have to say, the ad is so famous with much written about it, that I thought I knew all the ‘nuances’ - at least those nuances in the public domain. Turns out I was wrong.

Me: Can I order food to go?
Them: Of course, our next deliveries are scheduled for next Wednesday.
Me: Sorry, I don’t need a table, just food to go.

The promo on some podcast this morning (my bold)
While Tim Cook (Mr. Excitement) has been the CEO of Apple for over 10 years, he’s now getting closer to mid-60s and is probably looking past where he’ll be running things.

Count Scott Galloway as one of the people I read and listen to. Not everyone’s glass of vodka .. but it works for me.
