We were talking about politics at a cafe and when we started to mention the energy issues, this man came to our seat and began this hard sell. He invented a new solar power panel that everyone can use, so the thing he found the most proud was that it can help people stranded somewhere with this portable panel. Man, I can't carve out time for hearing the rundown of your invention, you're picking up stompies. However, Emma found this practical for camping so she bought one. The man is going to another man in other table who looks pretty pensive. Emma told me I looked sullen and I didn't have to look like this. I got upset and chucked the car key to her and left. Why am I so touchy about people pointing out my attitude? At home, I went to my room and stood in front of my shelf. What do I want to read? I weeded out boring books and eventually I picked an autobiography. This person flunk out of school young and after having had someone his fortune told, he decided to travel. I felt like I am a snob tonight. I could've retreated when emma said I need to chill.
a sullen silence, he said sullenly.
I'm a bit of a wine snob.
He left me stranded in town. If the tide comes in, we'll be stranded
The very first round of interviews only serves to weed out the very weakest of applicants.
I wanted to retreat to my routines and comfort. Visitors can find plenty of restaurants when it's time to retreat from the sun, To save yourself, you sometimes need to retreat from the world.
Chuck that book to me. Chuck it over there the corner. Chuck me the keys.
I need to carve out some time in my schedule for exercise.
