Yesterday it was changing my name with Social Security, and then changing it with the state on my license and registration. Today I got my new passport pictures for my passport change (they essentially make you apply for a passport all over again if you want to change your name). I was inspired to get…
OK, I got curious. If one is âhaplessâ, then what is âhapâ? Immediate guess was âhapâ as in âhappyâ, or âwith hapâ. This would make âhapâ the gladsome quality a happy person possesses. That didnât quite fit the definition of hapless as I knew it though, so I poked about on the web and discovered…
Yet a different day, yet a different Starbucks. This time Iâm on Main Street in My Little Town. Iâm positioned with my back to the counter, facing out through the picture windows.
