Writer’s phases of matter:
Dense
Dull
Block
Gaseous
Time out in nature provides
a much-needed
break from office politics,
as mountains
don’t have
peak measuring contests.
Better than to be quite honest
is to be quiet honest

In agencies, the expectation to have brilliant ideas is directly proportional to how comfortable the furniture is.
