It’s Wednesday, so I open up my brain and pour out a bit of what I deal with every waking moment for all the world to see. These are random thoughts.

1. We need a prayer of serenity to help parents remain calm in the face of a threenager figuring out they have agency.
2. I watched a video on the California Zephyr yesterday. I want to do this so bad. To me it would be an almost perfect retreat.
3. I said to myself, “I’ll review Mutant Year Zero, it’ll won’t take long.” Boy was I wrong.
4. Oh Eagles, that was embarrassing.
5. I’ve felt like writing a lot the last few weeks. I hope that’s a good sign.
6. Omicron is beginning to decline, key word is beginning.
7. Jasper Fforde is a genius author and everyone should read ¹.
8. Both Major League Baseball and the Players Union seem to enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.
9. I have four players for my Play Cancer Away mini-campaign. If it brings some joy to folks who are suffering, I will be glad.
10. Store bought oranges are more consistent than store bought apples ².
11. I have never had a budget for any of the technological pursuits in which I’ve engaged. It’s always been, “do more with less.”
