Right On

This one seems to have stood the test of time in a lot of places and audiences. The guy that owned Cherry Street in New Canaan in the early 90s and his son said it a lot, and it seemed unusual. I just realized that I re-adopted it a few years ago, probably from conversations with Silicon Valley bro types and the mountain town bike and ski bums around here. And my 16 YO daughter says it's OK for me to say. I think I'll keep it.
