Day 4,696: We Here
Just had a moment of marvel tonight—four days away from 4,700 consecutive journal entries on this site. That’s…pretty amazing. Well over ten years now. It just became second nature at some point. I used to write so much more than I do now. I think that’s mostly...
Day 4,695: Slow Go
I’ve discovered a new “thing” this year: sipping wine and reading. I really enjoy it. Most wine is made for food…but perhaps not all. I had that idea validated by Roger Scruton’s writing, recently, who argued that all good thinking and conversation was done best over...
Day 4,694: Dade
Long day of travel. It’s past midnight and we’re finally settling down into bed. Japanese garden in the rain, quick meal hang with my bro, and then lots and lots of travel. It was a good day. Glad to be home. Glad to be with the pups, and the kitties. Night...
Day 4,693: Noble Truths
JJ had her birthday today. We got up early to decorate the house, and she loved it. I have to say, it looks really, really good. We did streamers and a balloons and a sign. She liked it so much she said she might even just keep it up. It is very festive. We walked...
Day 4,692: Breaking Wire
We had delicious hand-pulled noodles tonight with the Ho clan. There was spice. There were dumps. There were french 75 cocktails. Twas delightful. We puzzled afterwards, which was fun. Knocked a full out out. Took an epic nap. Need to try and get a little outlining...
Day 4,691: Rush
Liz and I started dating twenty-two years ago. Wild. Time flies when you’re having a good time. Cliche but true. It really does. Our nickname for each other (yes, for both of us) has been “Panda” for literally that entire time, so we call today “pandaversary.” That’s...
Day 4,690: Licky
It’s beeeeed time so this will be a fast one: writing was good today! Made good progress. Nearing that finish line. Work was busy but steady and I got my stuff done. Wrexham won 3-0 over a depleted Millwall squad. Liz and the pups are good. Now…sleep.
Day 4,689: Deadline Day
Again, not a banner day writing-wise. It’s because family was in town, at least for the morning. Sigh. Not in terms of family being in town, but just in terms of the fact that I always seem to struggle with writing when my routine is bumped even slightly. But I’ll be...
Day 4,688: Bout The Same
Not a banner day writing-wise, but I still figured some stuff out. Work was busy. Pups were the best—we watched Diego for the day, which was great. He’s such a sweet pup. All he wanted to do was hang out on the carpet and watch the front door. Mom and dad did their...
Day 4,687: I Just Love Dance
Made tacos with dad tonight. That was fun. We did all the prep together and then he handled heating up the tortillas and putting in the meat. It was delightful. Back at it tomorrow, writing-wise! Night night.
