Power Browsing

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.
