Context? LXI

An excerpt from a radio commercial got my attention today.

"You look very...satisfied with yourself," the woman in the ad said, presumably to her husband.

Something about that pause to find the right word made me wonder, "Where is this going?"  It turns out, the man in the commercial was satisfied because he'd scheduled an air conditioner tune-up--not performed it, mind you, but just scheduled it.

It might have been the right choice, but that's setting the bar for accomplishments in an interesting place.
