Day 4,496: Comeback
Warriors almost came back tonight in their game against the Celtics. Down something like 32 or 34 and got it to within…9? I think? Single digits. Respect. This team has fight. Not an edge, but they do have fight. Porzingis is a very good player. Maybe he can stay...
Day 4,495: Early To Bed
Well, I fell asleep during my evening writing session today. That’s how wiped I was. Still recovering from the weekend and all the traveling. But, I’m back to work—meaning writing—tomorrow. In bed nice and early. Not quite as early as I thought I might, but Liz and I...
Day 4,494: Yonk
I’m about to have finished two books today! I count the Shakespeare I read as a “book,” which it most certainly is. King John. Certainly not my favorite play, but just like Richard II before it, not as bad as I thought it was at first blush. There are some really fire...
Day 4,493: Gold
Home! Wiped. But the pups are with me. Gonna take the morning off tomorrow before diving right back into book-writing. My co-author is stoked about the outline, can’t remember if I shared that or not. Really liked it. Now, we just gotta write it. Night night.
Day 4,492: Cassette Tapes
Well, we memorialized my grandmother’s life today. Grandma Patty. She was born in 1927. Ninety-eight. Pretty remarkable. There was dementia there towards the end, but Grandma was sharp pretty long. The memory of her I shared today was how she recorded reading books on...
Day 4,491: Selma
Up with family in the central valley of California to go to my grandmother’s memorial tomorrow. So many people here I’ve never met before. So many I’ve met, but maybe only once or twice. Scott and I had a really nice ride up. Lots of great discussion. Scott’s really...
Day 4,490: Level 38
Today was…an intense day. One of those days that just kind of comes in waves. Writing was hijacked…even though I can’t quite remember why. Work ended up being quite busy, and then the last bit of the day entailed helping out with a family matter. Wiped. But my bro is...
Day 4,489:
The manuscript is 18 pages old. And Joy is lying next to me like a teddy bear that fell over. She snuggled into my armpit tonight for like fifteen minutes, snoring away while Liz and I chatted about our day. I love our routine together getting ready for bed. Work was...
Day 4,488: Joseph Gordon LEAVE-IT
Hey, look at that, I’m at 12 pages today. Technically…it should be 18, but Monday was a wash. We’ll call that a “resistance day” through and through and just let it go. And I did, to the tune of 6 pages yesterday and another 6 pages today. Whew. We’re back at it....
Day 4,487: Bluster
It’s blowing out there right now. Gusty. And the rain should be here any minute. Gonna be a cold, dark day tomorrow…and I’m here for it. Helps me with the writing. Writing was better today! I’m six pages in. Should be 12, but that’s okay. I’ll find time to make it up...
