Cindy

For years I worked with a smart, stylish, uncannily insightful woman named Cindy Oxenbury.  We talked/Skyped/emailed dozens of times a day, and in every one of those exchanges I learned something.  Something important.  
​
It is an amazing gift, to work with someone you see eye-to-eye with, and learn from, every day.   There was one thing we didn’t see eye-to-eye on though.  The ampersand.  And oh I do love ampersands.  I like them visually, and I guess I also like the bit of informality they bring to a good document title.  But Cindy was ruthless with ampersands … deleting them from my documents willy nilly.  I always accepted the edits, sighed and smiled, because I knew they shouldn’t really be there.  But the great thing is that now, every time I put an ampersand into a document (which I do daily), I think of Cindy and smile.
