I’ve accomplished much this morning. But much is not the same as enough.

“The last time they met was the first time they danced; he the tango, she the flamenco They were soon married in an ostentatiously simple ceremony. They raised no children, but did adopt several dogs and cats of various breeds. Their life was a happy one—or two.” #writing

“Her name was Joy and that’s what she brought into life. There was no joy when she took out life.” #writing

“She knew all the great poisons. She used the most well-known and obvious one. She also knew they would look for someone more clever.” #writing #character

Do you track the books you lend to people? Do you allow them to write in them? Or do you not lend your books? Which of your books would you never lend? Are you a library? #books

Anyone remember “One on One WIth Larry Bird and Doctor J?” Electronic Arts. And all the cool Bill Budge titles? #apple #gamedev

“‘If you plan for yourself, you ignore the rest of humanity and your children and theirs. To me, it seems you’re planning your own death. I can help.’ He shook his head, sorrow in his eyes. then shot him.” #writing

“What are you good at?” “I can’t say.” “Because you don’t know? Or you can’t say because it’s embarrassing?” “Yes.” #writing #throwawayline

“They were old. They still knew how to party. But they always left to take a nap when the party started.” #writing #character

Let your mind roam free. Let it graze on ideas. If you restrict it, you limit your options. A person with a single option doesn’t have to think, but rarely accomplishes anything. #life

When your mind and spirit are in harmony, you are at peace with yourself. When your mind and spirit disagree, you are dis-eased. #life #success

Fountain pen out of ink Glad I have my backup fountain pen. #fountainpen

Death is caused by life. #life

NASA held an announcement on what we old-timers called UFOs. NASA announced this has been the hottest summer on record. Coincidence? Or ancient aliens?

“There is only one way off of the merry-go-round (roundabout for you Brits) of life. #writing

Back when I collected stamps—yes I was a nerd—there was a saying, the larger and more ostentatious the stamp, the less significant the country. I wonder if that still holds. #stamp

Am I confused? I thought we could order an Apple Watch right away. #apple #applewatch

Anyone have any good podcasts that aren’t interviews? Preferably something educational or productivity. I have enough language courses. #podcast

Know what you have to do and then do it. Once you’ve made progress, take a break. #life #success

I hope everyone finds some time for yourself today. Putting off self-care for another day becomes a habit that is hard to break. #life #success

I hate XCode. #xcode

Happy Eat a Hoagie Day …not a sub, not a hero, not a grider, not a po’boy. A hoagie is different.

Good morning. We all get another day to mess up. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Be congruent.

It feels like tomorrow should be Thursday.
