Consuming mango-habanero wings.

Have ideas. Have good ideas. Have ideas you can act on. Act on them. That is why you are here. #life

The Plan - to be written “What if your life was just an unending sequence of cliches and tropes? That’s Rock Hannibal’s life. On the trail of a mysterious object, the down-and-out detective faces killers, the cops, and a woman with a mysterious past, only to discover… Stay tuned.” #writing #blurb

I need to run some errands this afternoon. Tomorrow, I plan on spending part of the day attempting to make shu mai, including wrappers. I’m not sure what to expect since I’ve never had them. #food

Just as in American football a block has penalties, so does writer’s block. #writing

The now is both small and infinite. Focus on the now. Don’t focus on what you want to accomplish, but what you can do, then do it. That is an accomplishment on the way to your goals. Let the future take care of itself. Your job is to take care of what you can do now. #life #success #motivation

I have to say, I enjoy SwiftUI a LOT more than XIBs. But I still feel Apple should’ve pushed the visual coding paradigm further than it did. There is still a ton of “cruft” in Swift that I’d rather not have to deal with. I just want stuff to work and do what I want. #programming #apple #visual

Hm. Apparently, there is such a thing as a “Smoothie of the Month” subscription. I will look into this… #food

“Be happy you’re not the other guy.”

2024 is coming. Do I know anyone who is going to get a VisionPro when it comes out? Too pricey for my budget and I don’t really need one, but I’d like one. #apple #visionpro

What is your favorite (any) holiday baked dessert? For me, it’s probably panattone. Not healthy, but decadently good. #food

I hate when I wake up at 3AM and have a great plot for a story, but then fall asleep and when I wake up it’s gone. #writing #life

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…

Holiday beer in the bottle. It should be drinkable in the next couple of weeks.

What are your values? Not what you value, but what you live by? I’m reviewing mine at the end of the year. Here are some of mine: – Be kind – Be honest – Be deliberate – Be healthy – Be present – Be creative #life #success

Hello. Instill happiness. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

“He smirked. ‘The only purpose productivity serves is to get you to do more once you finish whatever you’re doing.’” #writing #throwawayline

I’m trying to decide how seriously I should take tomorrow.

When someone tells you that something is unimaginable or incredible, you can safely assume they have no imagination or have been living under a bridge.

Friday eve. Time for a small glass of my berry mango mead. #mead

So, how many spam emails have you received this month offering you “Holiday Savings”?

Hm. Panatone. I almost forgot it’s the season. #baking

Habits are things to avoid, not cultivate. Flame on!
