I got a real proofing box that I’m trying. So far, it seems to be working. I hope it makes my baked goods more consistent. Up to now I just let nature take its course on the kitchen counter.

I don’t have all the answers, but I have many of the questions no one wants to ask.

“So. What are you going to do when you get to Heaven?”

Who should you thank who isn’t related to you? Why don’t you? #life

“The Orb of Wondering is wonderful. You stare at it in wonder and wonder if it does anything.” #writing #throwawayline

“The problem with politics is it denies the existence of any sense of humor apart from dark.” #writing #throwawayline

I need a sheet of A200 paper. >cough<

“I know animals more wise and sentient than that old white guy yelling about his lawn.” #writing

Wisdom isn’t guaranteed with age. In fact, it’s available at any age, but most only pay attention thinking time-on-planet means wisdom. Of course, it’s rare at any age. #life #failure #wisdom

I think I’ll bake something.

It’s time for some food. It’s been slow-writing of late. I can’t seem to get into the flow of this book. At least, I’m making (some) progress. #writing

“Remember. You aren’t as unique and wonderful as you think you are.”

Good morning. It’s a gorgeous sunny autumn morning. The snows are coming. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
