Yesterday I discovered the BBC series Sherlock, an updated take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective series. Here’s the way one modernizes a classic.
I’m also relishing Anthony Powell‘s A Dance to the Music of Time. I wish I could write like this. I wish I had more time this year to write. I’ve got some time now but only for the next couple of weeks.
I’ve seen plenty of gray skies and leafless trees.
I’ve also seen some old friends and had great talks with them. I love friends who like to play with words, question the conventional and laugh at the absurdities that surround us.
I’ve seen a temporary manager take a department that was hobbling along and run it into the ditch. It’s surprising how someone who’s just supposed to mind the shop for a few weeks can think “Now’s my chance to grab power.” No, the chance to grab power, was before you retired. You had 30 some years in the work force. Now let the younger bad managers derail the program.
“Slow down and take the time to really see. Take a moment to see what is going on around you right now, right where you are. You may be missing something wonderful.”

Grey skies and leafless trees seem to become the metaphor for an incompetent temporary manager! Beautifully expressed ideas!
