After my iron infusion today I did a quick walk-thru the Baylor Scott & White gift shop, where I overheard a lady, doing her own quick walk-thru, say, "Some people Power Walk--I Power Look." I loved the phrase and told the speaker I was stealing it. Only, I'm changing it up to make it more reflective of my style.
You see, I Power Browse.
I know--it sounds as if it's an oxymoron--as if the terms are diametrically opposed. How could they possible go together? Power infers decisiveness, swiftness, no nonsense action. Browsing implies a leisurely pace with time conducive of deeper consideration. But I say I'm a Power Browser because I dart in the store for a quick orderly scan, starting at the perimeter, and circling in to the epicenter. During this scan, I take in the overall picture, but allow myself time to look more deeply at no more than one or two items that catch my interest, then I dart out again. All the while I'm plotting my imitation of a victorious Douglas MacArthur.
Thinking of MacArthur reminds me of tactics and strategies. Then it hits me: Every successful mission, large or small, starts off with reconnaissance.
Okay, so maybe Power Browsing isn't the best word choice. I think what I really do is Power Reconnaissance.
Yeah, that's it: I am a practitioner of Power Recon.
About Me
- Loulymar
- My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”
