When you have aging animals in the house, the thing you notice about
white carpets is that they leave no gaps in the historical record.

Some days start so badly, they make you want to hate foreigners.

I see this one as a children's book called, "I, the Designer, have
lunch with the pragmatist C.I. Lewis."
"Hello boys and girls," it begins, "I design your world: the chair,
the table, the processes which bring you food. I am invisible, but
indispensable.
"Walking down the road, I have my eco=shoes on, and my Wei-Shu Hi
socks, and my thrift store glasses. Aren't these cool glasses?
"But wait. What is this, boys and girls... here is C.I. Lewis, flat
out on the ground. He has fallen by the wayside.
"I spring into action. I initiate the first stage of a thinking big/
designing small process to discover what help he needs. I manage
negotiable and non-negotiable constraints. I evaluate and
conceptualize fonts to brand a sign to warn people of the dangers of
this wayside.
"Utilizing structuration theory and Maslow's needs, I raise awareness.
"We take a rain check on lunch."
