On the half-second at dinner, and the dishwasher —
There is a half-second at dinner I have been trying to name for two years. It is the moment my wife corrects me and I correct the correction out loud before she finishes the sentence. I started noticing it again this week, on Tuesday, after I read Sunday's brief. I had the reframe sitting on the counter by the time I walked back to the kitchen. I let her finish. The dishwasher was quieter for it. That is the whole brand — the small change that shows up before the next morning and holds.
