There’s a board game called TriBond where you identify the commonality of three clues given. It’s pretty fun.
Last weekend, my 14 year old son was given these three:
“Big…Larry….Jay”
He correctly said “Bird”. Then asked, “I know Big Bird and a Jay Bird, but what the heck is a “Larry Bird”?
Sigh.
Wow.
What else do I incorrectly assume is a basic reference with someone I know well? Or with colleagues, employees or customers?

I assume this blog makes sense to you. But how many are saying “Who the heck is Larry Bird?”
Till next time,
