Can you be outstanding indoors?

In response to last week’s imponderable question, “Can you be outstanding indoors?,” my temple friend Tracey observed, “Absolutely! It depends on where your talents lie.” 

My writing and sailing friend Rich replied, “Yes, yes you can,” to which my social media friend Mark explained, “In several ways;
- you can be an outstanding door salesperson
- you can be an outstanding person, but only inside
-  you can be an outed gay proudly standing in all doorways

My dad’s beach buddy Bob recalled, “Certainly.  The best meals are cooked indoors....many in my kitchen.....Jumbo shrimp stuffed with crabmeat ....a side of rice Florentine.  Desert will be raspberry ice cream with chocolate chinks.”

And my temple friend Henry called out, “A great example of how to be outstanding indoors is Hal and his team during the Ecumenical Thanksgiving Celebration the Thursday before Thanksgiving  (click here for details).”  Note:  The same can be said for Henry and team as they finish another Habitat for Humanity build.

Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ":

When are lefties right?
For the ‘right 13% of the population,’ Aug 13 is Left Handers Day

Lord, give me a sense of humor; give me the ability to understand a clean joke; to get some humor out of life, and to pass it on to other folks.

Thanks to Demetri Martin, Steven Wright and George Carlin for the inspiration for Hmmm.   I invite you to call or email me to catch up.
