Glory to coffee in the highest
And peace to its beans on Earth
Lord coffee, heavenly brew, almighty coffee, our beverage
We worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your caffeine
Today's random question: How old is your personal computer?
Commercials led me to believe that changing shampoos would have a much bigger effect on my life.
Between power outages, balky computers, and an unexpected TV appearance, this has been a busy morning.
Gotta love Mondays...
Life is too short to be taken seriously. Whiskey, on the other hand, should always be taken seriously. And breakfast cereal. Very serious. Bananas, on the other hand, are just a bit too silly to be taken seriously.
What’s your favorite place to visit?
Also, the first book dealt with dragons and time travel, while the new one is about semi-pro football. Talk about changing mental editing gears.
The life of an editor: just finished my first editing pass on a new novel for one publisher on the same day a second publisher sends me a "can you please take a look at this ASAP" manuscript.
So much for taking a break between projects...
I lose all respect for myself when I bite my own tongue. I've been chewing for decades, how did I manage to screw this up?
Getting into the #Olympic spirit this morning. Or at least trying too, once I've had a cup of coffee or two.
Today’s random question: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Time for the annual physical, or the “wellness exam” as it’s called these days. And I just love being twice as old as my doctor. 🤨
The blueberry muffin has been eaten. I repeat, the blueberry muffin has been eaten. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress...

Good Morning 🌞
I'm not sure what's better, the steam from a hot shower or the steam from a freshly brewed cup of espresso.
I know: I'll have the espresso in the shower! 😎 ☕
Been talking with some nerd friends about building a new computer and my head is hurting. I am woefully out of date with current specs and such. I think I peaked with the Commodore 64.
