“He had everything. Except someone to spend his money on.” #writing

Be grateful for what you have, who you know, and what you have been able to do. We all struggle, suffer, and experience pain. You’re not alone. #life

You have to be creative. You don’t have to be clever.

Which is more organized? — your life — your desk — your closet

“We all do things we don’t want to do, and things we regret doing. That’s what imperfect beings do—even god. The difference is, God has no one to answer to—not even himself..” #writing

“He was a solid rock, or so he thought. To his friends, he was a spigot of spit and stubornness. The fool who fools himself is never trustworthy.” #writing

Is the Duke of Edinburgh still in business in Cupertino? Back in the day it was the Tandem, HP, Apple hangout. Great beer, fish and chips, and scotch eggs.

“He was drunk on her beauty, bewitched by her guile, mesmerized by her money. That’s how zombies are born.” #writing #throwawayline

Happy International Thunderbirds Day Thunderbirds are go! (Or gone?)

Time to switch gears. It’s time to read. It’s time to play.

It’s easier to set fire to your stomach than your heart. — ancient proverb I just made up

‘Back in my day, we had to memorize and know things. Now, you just search it.” “There’s more stuff now.” “But we knew stuff.” #writing #throwawayline

“Sometimes, you have to do the right thing.” “Actually, you have to do it all the time.” #writing #life

“I have a business proposition. We’ll give you a bag of money. You let us put the dead bodies of our customers on your sport field.” “What?” “Ok. No? How about we just put our name on your sport field, and give you a bag of money?” “Uh, that sounds better. Let’s do it!” #writing #throwawayline

“‘But remember, the true worth of a man is in his ability not to judge, jury, or execute while acknowledging the differences.’ The rabbit crackled in the smoky fire.’Doing otherwise, you can end up dead. That doesn’t mean you won’t be killed by a stray stone.’” #writing
