Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of November 3, 2019

By David Himmel

• If you find yourself using the word “verbose,” you’re probably being verbose.

 • “There’s only enough goodness in the world for one person at a time.” — Katie Himmel, 2019

• Being aware of your flailing and failing brain is equal parts terrifying and hopeful. It means you’re not done for just yet.

Those Purdue students protesting that CVS in West Lafayette, Indiana really need something better to do with their weeknights. One cashier’s idiocy for not knowing Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory is not a cause worth fighting for. Hit the books. Or get drunk at Harry’s Chocolate Shop. Or better yet, drown yourself in the Wabash River.

• My mind, my body, my phone, and my computer are all overworked and it’s starting to show.

• There aren’t bidets in heaven. But there are flushable wipes in hell. And I’m perfectly happy with that.
