Yesterday I had lunch with two of my former editors, Katrina and Annette. They refused to answer the question "Am I the best writer with whom you guys ever worked?" and proceeded to ignore me for the rest of the lunch, which is so obviously their avoiding an affirmative answer that it's barely worth pointing out.

We moved on to discussing our careers, our ups and downs over our combined 40 years at Microsoft. And Annette—my friend, my editor, and now my boss—uttered the following:

"I associate most of my bad memories with John."
Katrina found that way, way too funny.
