I accidentally read a ‘Forbes’ column in January.

Leaving my Kindle at home, which I use to block the view of the doctor slicing and dicing my put-on-some-more-baby-oil-life’s-a-beach-no-longer-wearing-bikinis body, more than reading it, I grabbed a magazine from the waiting room where the flatscreen is always on the HGTV channel featuring some wealthy brunette wearing goggles wielding a six pound double-faced sledge hammer, and read the editor’s column while my arm was numbing. (One sentence. 65 words.)

So was my brain. (Sentence fragment. Four words)

The editor was ranting against the new tax bill in California. Wealthy people who are ‘employing solar panels and washing dishes only by hand’ will have to pay more. [Steve Forbes, Editor-in-Chief, August/September Special Issue]

Poor multi-millionaires/B$arios, I thought. Maybe we could start a charity for them?

This sort of planning is best done by teams.
