My Friday Brainstorm
For subscribers only. Thinking out loud before Monday's Weekly.
One of my favorite Amazon TV shows is Clarkson’s Farm, starring the eponymous — and at times controversial — Jeremy Clarkson. He and I are roughly the same age. He’s funnier and considerably wealthier. But I’m (way!) more fit — and I’d beat him in a foot race 11 times out of 10.
In nearly every episode, Jeremy announces he’s had a brainstorm. It usually leads to something brilliant, expensive, and ultimately disastrous. A restaurant. A bee farm. A combine harvester he can’t operate.
That’s something we have in common. I have brainstorms, too. Mine happen on the elliptical or out on a run (as noted, I’m way more fit). Ninety percent of the time, post-endorphin high, they end up “in the bin.”
This morning I had another one.
Welcome to my Friday Brainstorm. Occasional. Subscriber-only. Topical or completely off the rails — depending on the morning.
