MMMMemories, in the corner of my 'vator

my building is in the process of updating the elevators with all the features appropriate to a landmark wall st. office tower: cherry veneer paneling, faux marble linoleum floors, and best of all, tiny tv screens that project news and weather headlines. they also project the "word of the day," which today was "adroit," meaning (like i have to tell you insanely intelligent blog readers) clever.
they used it in a sentence too: "the college student was adroit at getting into the club with no ID."
my face lit up, and i crackled with laughter. how fitting! my elevator-mates, considerably older than myself, looked at me with confusion. no doubt they have forgotten the herculean feats one used to employ to catapult themselves into the trendiest hotspots, that or there were no clubs in the 1890's, when they were my age. assholes.
