Where do I see myself in 10 years? Doing very much the same thing I am now, except back to writing full-time. That’s my hustle right now: getting enough books under my belt that I can make it my full-time job. I might even go back to doing client work if I could write...

What are five everyday things that bring me joy? Honestly? First thing(s) that come to mind are my wife, Cooper and Joy. And the kitties. Which aren’t things, so I don’t think it counts, but that is the first thing that came to mind. My headphones. They bring so much...

Describe something I learned in High School. That I had a place, socially. Middle school was really, really hard for me. I didn’t fit in much. I wasn’t bullied, really, I’ve always been able to stand up for myself for the most part. It happened here and there, but not...

The Studio is very funny. AppleTV+. Seth Rogan knows what he’s doing. I heard once that drama is full of characters trying desperately to find the truth, and comedy is full of characters desperately trying to hide it. That tracks, for me. And I love the description...

What’s the most fun way to exercise? Oh, some sort of competitive activity, no question. For me, anyway. Like, tennis for example. I don’t even think about the exercise, I just play. The game occupies my mind, completely, so I don’t feel the pain of working out....

Sigh. Still sick. Mild symptoms, certainly, but under the weather. A light fever, perhaps, aches and headaches, a cough, and mostly just tired and kinda out of it. I’m over it. Doesn’t make good journaling, I know, but that is the state of things. Thankful that work...

If I could be a character from a book or a film, who would I be? My childhood answer was an easy one: I’d be a Starfleet officer on Picard’s Enterprise. The D. From the show. Never really fell in love with the next one, the E, from the films. These days?...

Watched a great documentary film today called Somm: Cup of Salvation. I don’t think the title is all that great, now that I’ve typed it out, but the movie is—truly—phenomenal. I’ve seen the other Somm films and this one is BY FAR the best one. Like, another league of...

What job would I do for free? I think this question might mean “what job do I love so much, I’d still do it even if I wasn’t paid to?” But, the first thing it made me think was: you mean “volunteer?” For the latter, anything the benefits those in my life or my...

It is…so hard to breathe carefully and not cough before going to bed. That’s what I’m laying here struggling with at the moment. Just took some cough meds that will hopefully aid that struggle but damn. All my chest wants to do is cough. But if I start, it’s a vicious...
