Good morning. It’s never too late to be grateful. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Do you listen to your own advice?

Still a great song. youtu.be/f0bdLdTJd… #music

Plan for tomorrow: — iOS — reading — free-writing — baking — Python — play games

OK. The bread is out of the oven. Tomorrow I make bread pudding. #baking

The house smells like bread baking. I wonder why… Oh, right! #baking

Anyone doing anything nefarious today?

What books did you get? Are they worth reading? I got “Math with Bad Drawings”. Yup, it is. #books

I haven’t written anything this month. Writing 100K words in November was stressful. But now, I’m feeling the itch. Come January, I want to edit and push out my short story collection, “The Man With All the Cards”, as a freebie. It’s too experimental to be a book. #writing

Remember when Dr. Oz was a big thing? Neither do I.

“The family filed, sorted by height, into the the restaurant. Each wore either green or red, and the colors alternated. No one was happy, apart from the old ‘gram’, who wore the only Santa hat in the group. Her eyes twinkled with glee. She understood the pain she had caused.” #writing #holiday

“Can I buy you a drink?” “Sure. But once you do, you have to leave.” #writing

Assuming you got one, do you remember the birthday present you got ten years ago? Or do you remember how you felt when you got it? #life
