Working at an agency, everybody thinks time is money and apparently so are letters. The other day, after having received some information important to the job of one his clients and therefore certainly his own employment, an agent replied with a simple "x".
So today's word is x.
x?
x?
Have we really arrived at that? Thank you became thanks in what, the 19th century? With the advent of rapid typed communication of late, even “thanks” is oft preempted by “thx” and now, as the sun sets on the first decade of the third millennium of what history has decided is the modern era, we have only “X” to express our gratitude? Oh, how heavy hangs the mantle of memory… glimpses of a time when children gathered before gnarled fingers wrapped over aged knees and looked up with awe into eyes framed by thick-rimmed glasses behind which lurked a million memories and the wisdom absorbed by the sounds and sights and smells of years, the feel of cool night air or soft flesh or eh… eh…
You’re welcome
SJ
