Leave room to learn. Leave space to grow. Leave heart to love. Leave time to live.

I’m still hoping the Apple Journal app, whenever it is released, will be better than most. #apple #ios #journal

Well, it’s a do-nothing weekend due to the rainage. Oh well.

Good morning. The dismal weather hasn’t abated. It seems we are in a perpetual state of rainness here in Delaware. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

It just hit me that the word coroner has the same origin as corona and crown, among other words. A coroner has the (regal) power to do medical investigations. #writing #etymology

If you don’t enjoy what you do, why are you doing it?

So, are you a sidekick? Or a hero? Or are you a villain to everyone else?

Plan for tomorrow: — edit — stay out of the rain — play some games — read

The good news is the transfer/update process is a LOT faster, you don’t get the ring progressing around the watch. #apple #watch

Tomorrow, the weekend starts. I hope it doesn’t pretend to sing.

What did you learn today? Me? Sometimes you have to shine someone elese’s shoes to see your own.

I’ll be going to Philcon again this year. The only reason being I’ll get a chance to chat with Jonathon Maberry again and maybe touch base with a couple of writers I know. Sadly, Philcon isn’t as good as it used to be when I was much younger. #philcon

I should order some Schnebelhorn cheese. I’m all out. Best cheese theee is. #food #cheese

Back in the day people used to dress up when they went out to dinner. Going out to dinner was rare,expensive, and a special occasion with good food. Now, going out means jeans or pajamas at a chain restaurant. #life #food

Anyone celebrating Oktoberfest? I mean, apart from drinking bad beer in a local pub/bar? #oktoberfest

“He wasn’t a very good mage—or even a mediocre one. In fact, he couldn’t even tie his own shoelaces. But he had the gift and desire. One day, he thought, I’ll tie them and show everyone that I’m not one to be trifle with. He hated trifles.” #writing #throwawayline

The weather has been drizzly, dank and mostly moist for the past month, I’m ready for either snow or summer. Either would take care of the wondrously wet weather. #netde
