Everyone knows about “elevator music”, but no one talks about restaurant music. Delaware is dripping in country/western. I guess, it helps to turn tables. #music #restaurant #failure

“Humans are idealistically stupid. Everyone believes that they are special and won’t be affected, either by the lightning or government. Neither of which cares what you believe.” #writing

I have an opinion. Each and every app needs a standard API with which to access stored data. Any developer who refuses access to the underlying data is a silo and wants your money. Flame on! #programming #developer #api #failure

Something I don’t like about the new multitasking on iPad. I can’t swipe up to another “screen”, to launch an app. The open apps follow your swipes and aren’t locked to the original screen. #wwdc #ipados #apple

The Gathering: Fudge’s kittens are nearing the size/age to get them to the vet. Mote’s kittens are learning to climb the steps, and appear to be always hungry. #feral #cat #kitten

We all want something better. The problem is, no one can agree what better means, and want it for everyone else. #life #failure

I guess I deserve to eat something today. I’ve laid out the first few scenes of Coins of Destiny 3. I’ve got an interesting arc for my protagonist, and a good antagonist. I have a theme, and have begun weaving it into the plot. It’s a good morning’s work. #writing #planning

I just discovered a great life hack. Just don’t die.

Gotta plan this morning, while I’m being attacked by Bit and Byte, two of the feral kittens.

Misheard: “Sherlock Holmes and his trusted ape, Watson.” There’s a story idea there… #writing #prompt

Today was far from a productive day. Oh well, hopefully, tomorrow will exist.

Good morning. Thank you for being here. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — get serious about planning the next book — coding — errands — maybe eat — play some games

Time for some tea.
