X Marks The Spot

And So Much More



Sure, we have heard that  “X” marks the spot.  But it marks so much more.  

 

Views from the extreme can be used to make a point.  And then there are “X” games.  Too much of the same?  Perhaps.  

 

Exclamation points definitely have a place.  And it’s not always at the end of a thought.  Or even a sentence.   I think the word exclaim is one that can be a bit confusing at times.  Is it a cry of surprise, one of anger or something else?  Yes, it really depends.  

 

And that is true for many examples, right?  Excuse me but you know that’s true.  Exclusively.  Extraordinarily.   Extemporaneously. Even exponentially.  Imagine how the possibilities might expand.   

 

Exes of many types too.  Different situations and circumstances. I may not be through with “X” but it seems

to be right to move on.  “Y”.  “Y” indeed.

Michael, love how you work your way around a pondering, and creates lots of conversation.   I am currently waiting for the concrete dudes to tear up the concrete they will be replacing today - which has an "X" on the specific sections.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 - thank you for your comment as I often have a tendency to roam on and on paying homage to your Roman numeral remark.  

Joan Cox - years ago, I remember a contractor telling clients - "concrete cracks" as we were looking at the expansive driveway of the house they were considering.  

Roy Kelley - I have had the opportunity to step outside this morning.  The weather seems pretty good.  We are quite fortunate in Southern California.

Michael Jacobs two kinds of concrete - concrete that has cracked, and concrete that WILL crack.

What a fun post Michael Jacobs. Let's not spend too much time on the "Y" so we can enjoy the "X". Have a great Wednesday.

Back in the day I think there were a lot of places outside the navy bases that specialized in the letter X.  Fortunately those were cleaned up over time :)

Kathy Streib - exhilarating, I might think.

Beth Atalay - oh, but imagine the fun that might occur which makes me think of the letter "O'.  

Liz and Bill Spear - some things are better left in the past.  

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty  - thanks but I am not an expert of any kind nor a pondering pundit.

My head is spinning!  I think the English language is one of the hardest languages to learn.  I hope taught my children when they were young and trying to teach them how to read was a nightmare!

Morning Michael.

When I read the title it immediately reminded me of one of the Indiana Jones movie, in which he stated "X never marks the spot".

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - that's very kind of you.  I tend to think I speak confusion.  Almost fluently.

James Dray - I am not that familiar with the Indiana Jones series of movies but I agree with your comment.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD - I agree.  I appreciate the comments I receive as well as the conversation that starts with posts.

Michael, rereading your post this morning brings back memories of Exes, two husbands, and some good, and some I don't want to think about this morning.
