What is your drink of choice? Mine? The ceremonial morning coffee.

Antagonist: “Will you be disappointed if tomorrow never comes, Mr. Bond?” Roger Moore: “It depends on who sings it.” Antagonist: “Die, Mr.Bond.” Pierce Brosnan: “I’ll be here tomorrow, unlike you. Tomorrow never dies.” George Lazanby: “Hey, don’t forget about me. I like Elvis.” #throwawayline #bond

Fill in the blank: • Be a chump. Vote for _____. And if you think the question is somehow biased, try this one: • Don’t be a chump. Vote for _____. I don’t want your answers. I want you to think about what you answered to both questions and why.

Thank you, all. Whether you follow and/or interact with me, or not. We are all interconnected and you are appreciated. I hope I can bring a shadow of smile, or an unbidden thought to your life. Seriously, thank you.

I need to use the word “sweltering” more.

Piracy and Privacy are only one letter away. And we call that letter, spam.

It’s another brutally humid day, although the heat is tolerable. If it’s not oppressively hot and humid, it’s a tropical downpour here in Delaware.

I’m taking a break from XCode and Swift. I don’t like the state of the language vs. where it started, and the IDE. I don’t like fighting the tools and language. So, I’m taking time away to reconsider and evaluate. This is the first time I’ve felt this way about Apple languages/tooling. #swift #xcode

With any luck, I can get the first book of the trilogy off to the editor. Then, I can start on editing the second book and outlining the third. #writing

Today hasn’t been all that productive, although I did take my car in and am almost done the short story for the anthology. It has, all things considered, been a passing day.

I’m trying to come up with a unifying cover idea to my trilogy (almost said “three book trilogy”). The books all have a different sub/genre: — technothriller — action thriller — government conspiracy romance? thriller Writing is hard. ;) #writing #cover #design #publishing

The waiter looked at me. His face was expressionless, and then he spoke. “Pick your poisson.” #writing #throwawayline

“Who shot JRR Tolkien?” If you get the reference, you must be ancient.

… and at Barnes and Noble, I saw a bunch of JRR Tolkien books and my mind went to “Lord of the Hobbits”. That might be a fun book all about dancing. #writing

On a walk earlier, I saw a sign “Cash for Houses”. My mind automatically went to “Cash for Cows”. Yes, my sense of humor is, indeed, weird. #writing

I put two pillows I washed into the dryer. Now one of them is missing.

I must be hungry. I haven’t eaten anything but a doughnut all day.

If life comes with no documentation, why should software? Are you criticizing God? Or think that you are better? .~ Note the snark mark before you flame me. Only God can do that. -cough- #programming #documentation

Time for some #music youtu.be/RKmw9oS__…

Which is the most boring board game?~ #game

Oh well, the car won’t be done until late tomorrow. I feel like Mexican food today. I guess that’s for dinner.

Great advice for everyone. #life #success

Don’t wait for happiness. Create it. Create it for yourself and others. #life #success #happiness

Wow. Some magazines still come with CD/DVDs. And source code! I’ll have to get it so I can relive typing in code. #marketing #programming
