Going through boxes of bottles, I discovered a stash of hard seltzer and strawberry wine I’d made years ago. Will have to see how they’ve aged later. #brewing

OK. I decided I’m not in the mood for nachos. I think I’ll keep it simple and just have wings again. I’m boring that way.

Lunch looms large. I haven’t had a nachos in a while…

I want the new Switch Pro #nintendo

I was hoping to have two books out this year. Stuff happens, I managed to get one out to the public, and one delayed until next year. Next year, I’m going to go for three since I have one “in the queue”. #writing #publishing

The Gathering: They still make a daily appearance in the sub-freezing cold. The kittens are growing fast. The opossum shows up pretty much every night now. Last night I opened the door and it just looked up at me. This behavior is mysterious. #cat #feral

PSA for restaurants: A “special” menu that is a week old is not special. #food

I nice pre-winter day.

What should I attempt to write next year?: — romance — cozy mystery — horror — space opera (started to a year back, but didn’t like the story idea) #writing #2024

Back in my day we were allowed to skate on frozen ponds, lakes, and rivers. #winter
