Not Good

Following is a list of things that qualify as “not good':

• Rebuilding an engine and then, just before trying to start it, finding a small box of parts from the engine you forgot to use.
• Waking to the sound of running water in your bedroom.
• Ordering a Merlot in Pinot Noir country. (NOTE: I sort of did just that once… but only once.)
• Juggling expense account numbers when you are heading to an audit.
• Asking me for the correct spelling of words over three letters in length.
• Singing in public the same way you sing in the shower.
• Adding salt.
• Watching your rear wheel pass you while driving down the highway.
