Shawn received an outrageous job offer in Sweden.  I asked him to take the phone call and get some information.  If it sounds too good to be true, I still want to hear about it.

This morning K brought baking to our meeting.  At the end of the meeting I saw M steal two muffins to bring home to her children.  I wonder what that is, the stealing.  I mean I wonder why she does that.  She has money, she has enough to buy her children muffins.  But she does this always, pilfers treats from staff meetings to bring home to her kids.  I cannot understand the imaginary warmth of false generosity that comes from giving a gift that never belonged to you in the first place.  It must taste like saccharine dust in her children's mouths.
