The big story in the newsletter is about lines; standing in line, waiting in line, holding in line, what is a line, and much more. The newsletter if nothing else will be an original, no one else is talking about lines… until now!

Continuing some of the content from newsletters this past week, several conversations around the office went into a person’s willingness to wait in line. What started the waiting-in-line conversation, branched out into many-line conversation. For instance, a debate on whether getting to the parade route early to “reserve your spot”, is a line. Spoiler, not a line. Waiting on hold for phone support, is that a line? Spoiler, that is a line. What line would you wait in, how long would you wait in that line, and what have been a few of the best line reduction strategies some of us have seen over the years?

Today’s newsletter is more summary of conversations and less on a recasting of current news. This newsletter is also continuing to be developed and future edits will follow.

Addition Line text.

Who named Mother Nature and Father Time?

Really just looking for something to talk about waiting in line.

Song by Tom Petty

Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah, I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again

Baby, we know better than to try and pretend
No one coulda ever told me 'bout this
I said, yeah, yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well, yeah, I might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now

Baby, you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna laugh like I wanna laugh now
I said, yeah, yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Oh, don't let it kill you, baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you, baby, don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far, don't let it get to you

The waiting is the hardest part

Writers out, difficult to put together news.

Enjoy at least one day each week for rest and reflection.

Get in line.
