Yes, I do recognise that opening phrase. It’s paired with, “It’s Friday, it’s five o’clock and it’s C__________”. I assume you’ll know the missing word.

I enjoyed reading this piece. It’s strange looking back and contemplating the paths we’ve taken in our writing.

Crackerjack. But also referring to the show whose other best known line is "Get down, Shep!"

My first career was in corporate finance, writing documents for shareholders...and I credit much of my writing style to my boss Simon who would take a drastic red pen to my work, cutting, simplifying, making the passive voice active.. he taught me so much.
