[stylist] Something interesting I found

[Alan Wheeler]

I was reminded of something amusing when reading this.  Several years ago, I heard a guy on an NPR talk show talking about how the phrase "at the end of the day" was so overused it was driving him nuts.  I really hadn't heard it all that much, but after his comments on the show I started hearing it *EVERYWHERE!* LOL!
