I made some progress on figuring out the data format I’m reverse engineering. It may be documented somewhere, but I find I learn more doing it this way. #ios #data

Trips in 2022 to Italy is probably out. Japan definitely. Still hoping to go to Minneapolis/Bouchercon. We shall see… #travel

It just hit me as very strange that restaurant servers, here in the US, sometimes ask, “Would you like to put some food in?” Grammatcally and conceptually it is weird.

I should start planning 2022, assuming I get there. I guess all my trips are out again. Curse you #COVID #Omicron, etc.

I need to eat something today. At least once.

Too many ideas not enough knowledge.

Doing full-bore edits of my thriller. It won’t be out this year, but that’s ok. #writing #editing

Ugh. This morning is flying by and I haven’t accomplished much.

My new batch of sourdough starter isn’t doing much after a day. It’s still early.

Happy National Apple Pie Day

More reverse-engineering this morning. #ios

Greetings. It’s Friday. Rejoice! The weekend is nigh! Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Schools should teach kindness and generosity because most parents don’t.

It must be hot chocolate time.

Tomorrow is Friday. Yay?

Just because you were once young and stupid, it doesn’t mean everything you said or did was–unless you still are stupid. #life

I’d rather be thanked for doing something than get an award. #life

When you think everything is going your way, life has a way of reminding you that includes fast moving trains and zombies. #life

I should get back to editing my thriller tomorrow. I need to catch up after NaNo and the break. #writing #editing

Embrace the ludicrous in your life. #life #success

It’s time to munch and write.

You need to prioritize distractions the way you prioritize your tasks. #life #success
