Heh, tell it to Professor Lyons.....he went nuts when we gobbed up a sentence in an overly worldly fashion when you could’ve stated it more plainly. And he generally disliked it when we used the word “that” in a sentence. Said it was rarely, if ever, necessary. And, he demanded the proper use of commas.

Back to the people at the table with Huber and Barr. Any idea who they might be? One of them is clearly part of the Q team if the reflective pen photo was taken at that meeting.

I like that professor. He might also have advised to limit words ending in ‘ing’ because they describe a state rather than an action. For example, “She was running down the road,” has less punch than, “She ran down the road.”

Also, avoid adverbs, he might say. If you have to modify a verb, then maybe the verb isn’t strong enough.

Yikes!

By that estimation, I am indeed a basket case! LOL!

Are you (or anyone) able to tell me why that picture of Huber at the table with yellow tie is so convincing that it is connected directly to the pen drop? Other than proving that Huber does indeed have a yellow tie, I don’t get its importance. I don’t mean to be dense here, but I guess I’m dense!

Thank Q one and all.
