Cool. The Genre Bending session of C3 is gone after I told them we’d done it last year. Now I’m on a panel with Jodie Lynn Nye. #writing #mdc3con

Took a long walk and discovered a bunch of wild persimmon trees heavy with fruit. #botany #food

The hotel coffee this morning barely lived up to being called water.

Good morning. Try to go through the day without judging anything either mentally or verbally. See what you feel. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
