I hope everyone is enjoying a rainy day, like I am.

Added a new book, The Kaiju Preservation Society, to my Tsundoku shelf. #books

Happy National Hairball Awareness Day Celebrate as you will, if you must.

Back home again. Yay.

Good morning, all. Have a positive impact on the world. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Well that was fun. Dinner with old co-workers was fun until I chipped my tooth.

It’s not weakness to ask for help. It takes strength and courage. #life #success

Plan for today: — write — hang around the hotel — go to NJ for dinner with an ex-co-worker tonight. — study stuff

Good morning. I’m not awake. That’s ok. I can still muddle through the day. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Observed: book jacket blurb- “… is the world’s leading authority on UFOs” I know I am the world’s leading authority on vampiric penguins.~

I apologize. I’m definitely in a snarky mood. I haven’t had one in a while.

Time to hit the absences and Noble. Why? Because Delaware has no bookstores.

PSA: if you fly a drone through a restaurant filming an ad, I will swat it down.

Things I learned over the umpteen years I’ve occupied this space-time: If a restaurant serves a bag of chips, do not order the dessert. #food

Gratuitous food pic. P

If you can’t be snarky, who will?

“Roadmaps tell you how to get somewhere, they don’t tell you that you will. But then, that’s why people stopped using road maps and began to trust apps and AIs, that told them where to go. It’s hot there.” #writing #planning #life

“Things are only dark if you only want the light.” #writing #throwawayline

Ok. I just wrote a bit of dialog that took the story to a different point. Something dark and somewhat sinister just lightened up in an unexpected way. I think I’ll go with it. #writing

In the US, companies try to sell you something called a “leaf filter” for your house gutters. They apparently do nothing to prevent dead squirrels and otters from infesting your down spouts.

This Drunken Werewoves story is all dialog. Not even dialog tags. I didn’t start writing it this way, but I think it works. I may need to add in some minor non dialog. #writing

Personal stuff done. Time to find some food and do some writing/editing.
