Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 26, 2021

Cool conversation. No wonder these three are well liked at Bryson Elementary.

As an engineer, I agree w/ Ms. Plainwell and Mr. Burke. Frazz, not so much (now that I’m not in school)

Lame recovery, guys. Kids take such statements at face value and never, ever forget to remind one when a similar situation arises.

the minimum that gets the job done, that’s me with clothes from Memorial Day to Labor Day [usually board shorts and a tee]

Perfectionists, pragmatists, half-a$$ artists, we all have our own way to get the job done. The idea is to meet clients’ expectations.

The kid was referring to Frazz as the boyfriend.

I wonder if Miss Plainwell has this same philosophy in boyfriends?

Don’t sacrifice your feet for a little more speed.

Is she also talking about boyfriends?

That comment to Miss Plainwell could mean many different things,

Whatever’s comfortable and supportive.

Eh, chill and take life easy. Why do you need to prove anything?

The minimum effort that does get the job done is the correct and efficient effort

My philosophy is also to go with the minimum that gets the job done, which is why I’m not a runner. Start at home, end at home, I can do that job at an absolute minimum cost of time and energy.

If you are trying to get stronger, the maximum that you are capable of is the minimum that gets the job done.
