Yesterday, one of the kindest men I know told me how he was cultivating a ruthless attitude. We looked at each other and then burst out laughing. This gracious man doesn’t have a ruthless cell in his body. The funny thing is…I’m trying to do the same. But mine doesn’t have to do with finding time to save the world like he is doing. I’m just trying to edit the damn story from 300 words to 100 words. Get outta my way you totally unruthless Golden Retrievers and give me a pen – I am going to be RUTHLESS today!

*Having or showing no pity or compassion for others; cruel (Vicnotes addendum; attitude needed to kill the unneeded adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, phrases, etc. Out you go!)

* Ruthless Rye IPA is also a new Sierra Nevada brew – delicious!
