One thing that COVID has taught me is that even though I’m an introvert I miss being around people. I just don’t like interacting with them. #life

Grr. I was going to stop and get some doughnuts here in Newark DE, but Duck Donuts is no more. There is no place left in DE to get decent doughnuts. #netde

No folding bikes to be had here. Grr. #netde

We live in an age where a simple and rational / fact-based request can be denied by a simple “No,” for no other reason than spite and ignorance. #life #failure

It’s time again to thank my followers and friends on here. This is something I do with sincerity. Thank you for putting up with me.

I spent the morning doing chores. I spent the afternoon (so far) running errands. I’ve written a bunch of pages. I’m about to eat. Now I want to hit a bike shop and see if a) they have folding bikes, and b) they’ll fit into my trunk. What’s the probability?

Time for some Tinga tacos.

Just because you are young doesn’t mean your opinion is worth less. Just because you are old doesn’t mean your opinion is worth more. All opinions are worthless, which isn’t to say you shouldn’t express them. Just don’t expect acceptance.

I’m winding down/up this short story. It’s not the ending I first envisioned, but this one works better. I’ll put a ribbon on it tomorrow. #writing

Do you pronounce it “jiblets” or “giblets”?

“I have Bluetooth.Do you?” “No. And you should really see a dentist.” #writing #throwawayline

Overheard: “My roommate was a Viking. He did Viking things into the early morning. The lack of cleanliness didn’t bother me.” I don’t make this stuff up. #writing #character

If you do nothing, you will succeed at nothing. #life

If your government is centered around the military, you will tend to use it. If your government is centered around money, you will tend to use it. If your governement is centered around religion, you will tend to use it. If your government is centered around love… oh… wait!

I don’t try to prove anything to anyone, or to myself. I just try to improve. #life #success

OK. Official spring cleaning initiated. I spent all morning doing it. Now I get to reward myself and go outside and run errands (and maybe eat and write).

I’m sleepy today, so I’m just rereading programming books…

Happy National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day Yes, it’s a thing.

Good morning all. If you can’t be kind, you can always be civil. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Consensus has nothing to do with truth or what is factual. #life #failure

Plan for tomorrow: play it by ear.

It’s Friday. Time for a glass of #mead.

OK. The grocery store had “goldenberries” or ground cherries. I just tried one. Very tasty. Sweet, tart, with tomatillo undertones. Might be good on/in a cheesecake. Otherwise, a bit weird for me on its own. I think I’ll try to plant some of these and see what comes up. #food

Well, folks. (Do people still use “folks”?). The weekend is nigh. What celebratory events do you have scheduled to mark this weekly rite of passage?
