What the hell is a “newlsetter”?
I just sent out my newsletter to 2000 of my best contacts…. complete with the word “Newlsetters.”
What the hell is a newlsetter, you ask?
Is it related to an Irish Setter?
A typesetter?
A jetsetter?
Nope — “newl” is a term used by ancient Egyptians. Newls were small nail-like objects that helped line up the corners of the pyramids.
Do you buy that? Sigh. I bet my 2000 readers won’t either.
Damn typos.
I think I’m not going to look at any more of the newsletter. In fact, I think I’m going to go for a run.

Better than ‘Department of Pubic Safety’ which went out state wide not so many years ago. I enjoy a good newlsetter now and again.

Going for a run is a great solution to almost any problem.
