Happy O. Henry Pun-Off Day

Good morning. Exhale. The week is over. Remember to inhale. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Actually, they taste bland and all the same. I need to get a decent supplier of nuts and not resort to “brand” names. #food #nuts

Sometimes I wonder about myself. A stranger next to me said, “Twelve out of thirteen people showed up. He died.” Lots of moans and shaking of heads. I chime in. “He was really late then.” Stunned silence. Then the place bursts into laughter. Truth. #life

Dummy me! I inked up the Laban, but forgot to bring it. Oh well. #writing #fountainpen

My mind works in dark and mysterious ways and means to an end is only the beginning.

A meal you wouldn’t want to eat: iPad Thai.

“My parents would banish me from the house for not doing my chores. I would wander the tundra in search of lichens I would then tame and train to attack my parents.” #writing #throwawayline

I think my iPad is telling me it’s time for an upgrade. The battery seems to be draining faster. I should check stats. #ipad

“Back in my day we called the white bouncing ball, singing. We didn’t call it golf.” #writing #throwawayline

The more people do a certain thing, the more you can rely on them doing it again. And if you know that, you can control them. Harry Seldon

Spokane: the lost past future perfect tense of “spoken”. #writing

Been listening to Nintendo podcasts. I want to play TotK, but I should try BotW yet again. I doubt my opinion will change. #nintendo #zelda

Time for a late lunch. I feel like (eating) wings.
