It’s Baltimore Pen Show day. I’ll be wandering around and gawking a lot. #fountainpen

Good morning. Help someone today, even if you yourself needs help. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

When your expectations don’t match reality, stress results. #life

Be adaptable. Not being so is a sign of rigidity and freezing at critical moments. #life #success

HP wants to rent you a printer by the month at $36 per. Seriously? I worked for HP {not printer div, but NonStop}. This printer idea is a hard no moneygrab. #hp #failure #printer

I planned on editing while at the pen show, but it turns out I forgot to bring it… ugh. I guess I need to write. Much more fun than editing. Maybe it’s my subconscious procrastinating for me. #writing

Why me? The woman next to me is demonstrating all of the iPhone’s ringtones at full volume for a man next to her…

I hope I’m not coming down with something. I had lunch then crashed for an hour.

Late lunch. Potstickers #food

“Tattered Memories of You” should be a title. #writing

Observed: Some people have never heard of earphones or airpods, apparently. Guy next to me is blasting Harry Chapin music from his iPhone while inhaling chicken wings with his walrus moustache. #writing #character

“Dead people are about as much as you, but at least they don”t keep complaining.” #writing

Hm Necromancer being made by Apple? That might be interesting. #apple

Take advantage of the fact that you can still read my books. One day, you’ll be too old to understand what you read. Of course, you may want to forget what you’ve read. ;} auteureist.com #books #reading

I should learn to cook something new next week.

“It’s not a slippery slope if you stay on solid ground.” #writing

Observed: Guy who is obviously too cheap to afford a decent disguise, and opted for old TV western costume department throwaways. #writing #character

Happy International Underlings Day. I could use a few.

Just checked in. Traffic was fairly decent.

PSA: It’s a birthdate, not a birthday. Get it right. You don’t celebrate the Thursday on which you were born. #leapyear

Maybe, one day, life will make sense. But I don’t think so.

Just had some salmon that looked as white as chicken. Way overcooked. Ugh. #food

“She was the type that if she removed her glasses, let her hair down, started using making, and learned to laugh, she would still be like a spinster. At least she had money.” #writing #pulp

Graph your family, friends, and acquaintences on a scatterplot. Use “closeness” as one axis, and “helpfulness” as the other. What do you learn?
