When I go into the store all I find are old-fashioned oats. What if I want new-dangled oats?

Some days I wish I had the ability to totally forget a programming language so I can learn it fresh so I wouldn’t have to worry about deprecations. #programming

I keep forgetting today is Friday.

Happy Julienne Fries Day.

Found a great crabapple tree in PA. Took a couple of apples. Will see if I can grow them. Wonder what kind they are. #apple #crabapple

I think I want to try making gyoza again this week. But not with wheat flour. #cooking

I would like more podcasts that are not simple interview talk shows. There is an educational component missing from most audio podcasts. If you know of any good non-interview podcasts that are educational, pass them on, please. #podcast #failure

Why I hate Apple/Swift/XCode. Developing is a bear because of the beta cycle and breaking/deprecating changes Apple puts out. XCode: Version 14 b3 iOS: 16 MacOS: 13 Swift: 5.6.2 Other: Python: 3.10.6 Ruby: 3.1.2 Go: 1.19 Rust: 1.63.0 all fairly stable. #programming

Back home again.

Today’s writing implement.

It is important to know when a mistake is something you could have controlled and when it was out of your hands, and what you can do about it in the future. #life #success

“Scavenger Hunt” is out today. I guess I should hunker down and work on the next book. auteureist.com #writing #book

Good morning. Have a non contentious Friday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I need doughnuts.

You have to be patient and try to not rush events. #life #success

Guy across the bar scowling at me as if I just made off with his wife or dog. Neither of which are all that great. #character #writing

“When the moon is full, things get hairy.” Tagline for my next drunk werewolves story. #writing

“The knife sluiced through the artery the way a salmon sluices through water.” #writing #throwawayline

Everyone has a talent. Some are even worth having.

A cozy mystery? #prompt #writing

Hanging out at the Hops / Scotch Dram and Barrel in Doylestown next to the Bookshop for dinner. #dinner
