“Tell a story in six words,” he says, probably guessing it can’t be done.

Plutarch’s Julius Caesar did it: “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
(Technically it was three words “Veni, vidi, vici.”)

Descartes did it in five: “I think, therefore I am.” And such is the font of a million stories.

So here’s my effort: “I think occasionally, therefore I blog.”

All else is commentary!
