Happy National Tweed Day

Good morning. Step back to see your way around. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Tomorrow, I’ll do more of what I did today: no mutilated bodies, no vicious animals, and no late night meetings in sleazy smoky bars full of underworld thugs intent on killing me.

What is your origin story?

Cool. A couple of people decided to order my books while chatting with me at the restaurant at lunch. #writing

I’m slowly narrowing my choices for a folding ebike… Aventon Zizzo GoCycle #ebike

#phillyete is this month… I’m looking forward to it. It lets me get out of the house. Well…forget that this year.

How short was your shortest hike?

Sigh (not really). I’m still not done the short story. It wants to keep going. No, it’s not a novel/novelette. It just needs to answer questions and that takes words… #writing #shortstory

“My mom always told me, ‘Men are no good.’” “Your mom has been dead over 30 years. I think you’d learn to think on your own by now.” “You always hated my mother.” #writing #throwawayline

“A 46 year-old white male body was found floating in the river this morning. The police identified it as that of Jonathon Brainbury of Oakmont. Cause of death was determined to be excessive ear wax.” #writing #throwawayline

What works for you may not be what works for others. Don’t force your desires on others. You aren’t the arbiter of all things. #life #failure

Words are flowing today.

I’m tempted to try to set up a FFXIV account and try the game, but I’m sure the login/creation process will put me off again. Is there like a straightforward step-by-step tutorial/cheat sheet? SquareEnix has the world’s worst on-boarding customer support. #ffxiv #csfail

Nibbage. Bad lighting. #fountainpen

Never bathe in someone else’s misery. #life

For now, I need to do some house stuff.

Ok I figured out how to get a cover image from Marvel and to display it on the eInk display. Scaling is a bit off and 7 colors is all I have. I think pulling a random cover every hour might be fun. #programming #eink

Happy National Ferret Day

At least the sun is out.

Hello. Be gentle to one another. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

In case you forgot amidst the week, it’s Friday
