Random Quote
Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.

Day 252: Accidentally on Purpose
I might have accidentally binge-watched all of “Dash & Lily” tonight. Or perhaps it was on purpose. It seems like something I’d do. Either way I make no apologies.

Day 251: Good or Bad Be Damned
I worked all day, at the expense of other things. So it must be, until my work project is done. I also spent some time in the evening coloring with Marshall (he on a picture of sharks, me on a … Continue reading

Day 250: Night Falls Early
Today I was so busy with work that I almost forgot to take a walk. By the time I went out, the light was almost gone, and I had to cut my walk short. Going forward, I need to adjust … Continue reading
Day 249: Working Like a Maniac
It’s a good thing that there’s really no “dead” in my work deadline this week, because I am not going to finish my project in time. Nobody else will need to see my work until next week, so I can … Continue reading

Day 244: That Would Be Grand
As I mentioned in a previous post, my parents and I are planning to spend Christmas together. But, those plans are already in jeopardy. America registered over 160,000 new coronavirus cases today, and if the numbers continue to be this … Continue reading

Day 243: Unsuccessful
Yesterday I blocked, unfollowed, and muted half of my Twitter. I just wanted to pretend for a few days that 45 didn’t exist. But, just like everything else we’ve ever done to get rid of him, it didn’t work. I … Continue reading
