I’ll keep this brief.

Though my old art teacher knew his subject well enough, he openly admitted to being overly obsessed with one particular period -- that of 17th century Italy. "If it ain't Baroque," he would say, "then don't fixate."

One of the characters spelling out the name on the back end of my sailboat is looking a bit worse for wear. I got in touch with the manufacturers, but I guess I must have violated the warranty somehow, because they’ve since told me they’ll be sending me a stern letter!

Like a lot of people, I sometimes wonder what is the meaning of it all. So I looked in a dictionary. "It" means "The subject of an impersonal verb", and "All" means "Whole quantity or number". That's that sorted, then.
