I’m betting the next MacOS will be called Skyline or Pacific given the “transparent” nature of the OS. #wwdc #apple

Based on the design of WWDC this year’s logo, I hope we are going back to the Bondi lozenge days of chrome. #wwdc #apple

Hello. Stay hydrated with water. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Don’t forget to breathe tomorrow. And if you can’t breathe tomorrow, breathe some air.

Time to relax. Plan for tomorrow: — Submit “The Cat and the Warlock” — Errands — Write more of “Hank the Hypochondriac” — Eat stuff — Be a nuisance.

The Gathering: Three of five of Fudge’s kittens. They are growing exponentially (in number and size.) I’ll take these to a shelter in a week or two. I can’t afford to keep paying $1K to neuter/spay more of them. I’ll take care of Fudge and Mote (the other one with a litter). #feral #cat

I’ve spent all day formatting and doing a last pass of “The Cat and the Warlock”. I’ll submit it tomorrow sometime. Now, it’s time for a break. #writing #editing #pulp

Lunch consumed. Mind-dump complete. Cache cleared.

What is it about humans that believes humans should survive? To what end? We aren’t the “best”. We aren’t the “smartest”. #life #philosophy

Is it really an Italian restaurant if they play Country Western music, and it’s a chain? #food #restaurant #failure

The reason they are called “cozy mysteries” is because you can solve them from the comfort of a bed or sofa while you’re wrapped up in a warm blanket and your favorite pet near you. It has nothing to do with the tropes, structure, or genre. #writing #cozy

Do you ever wonder what you’re doing here? I mean on social media.Is it because you feel you have something important to say, you are trying to sell something, you are bored, or you just have no one to talk to? #life #socialmedia

Did you know that if you sing “Auld Lange Syne” very slowly, you get a slow Burns? If you get it you get it, and apologies #humor

“Death and Tuxes” should be a title. #writing
