Before Too Long. Day 269.

For my job, I read and write a lot. I encounter many words and phrases that I’ve heard my whole life, colloquialisms and informal speech.

Today, I saw one that I’ve seen before: “Before too long.”

I know what it means, but when I actually read it, I became amused.

So, whatever you’re waiting for will happen before you would say, “That took too long.”

Silly observation, I know, but it offers me an easy write today, and a small laugh.
