Deflected Thinking

Standing at the window on a blustery day, watching the wind elbow pine trees aside and kick at the decorative juniper we planted last fall, I got to thinking about how Steve Wozniak, spurred by Steve Jobs, improved the arcade game Breakout for Atari before the two Steves drifted off to found Apple Computer Company. It’s fair to say this partnership altered the trajectory of computer technology.

Sometimes, it takes two Steves to get things done.

After giving the two Steves appropriate thought, I reflected on the idiomatic expression, “There is no ‘I’ in ‘team.’” A clever play on words, that. But a few years ago, it suddenly occurred to me that there are two “I”s in the word titties. This realization has derailed me ever since.
