Some time ago (around 2012 IIRC) i was in the audience for the graduation play of a friend, who had completed her drama degree. I don't remember much about the play -- not my usual kinda thing, it was an ancient piece from the 16th century; typical drama school fodder -- but one phrase stuck with me through all those years: "If he can muster up his equipage..."

Such a unique turn of phrase, it made us laugh at the time and soon became a family go-to line whenever we had to prepare for a trip, or a night out.

Anyway while drafting #today I reached a point in the narrative, a kind of gestalt moment if you will, where I realised I could use it! Made my day. I guess you could call it an Easter egg, although it won't mean anything to more than half-a-dozen people.
