2/ a small emendation. I went back to my notes and realized I was working from a 10 foot 2x4 not an 8 foot one. But still a single 2x4. So still officially cool.

Buying a house is complicated. Today I got the contract. Not closing yet, but you have to sign this and it's 44 pages of legalese. I tuck into it. Typo in the property address. Sent it back for emendation. Moral of the story: Read the fine print.

(And please don't respond to the above with "'Turn the ship around' implies going back to the past, and we can't go back to the past." I know we can't go back to the past, and shouldn't, and have been screaming it from the rooftops for a long time. My metaphor does not require your emendation.)

True nightmare material from Persuasion:
“Every emendation of Anne’s had been on the side of honesty against importance. She wanted more vigorous measures, a more complete reformation, a quicker release from debt, a much higher tone of indifference for every thing but justice and equity.”
