I keep wanting to spell “bullet journal” as “bullitt journal”. Thanks Steve McQueen.

My go to pen these days is a Pilot Vanishing Point. I love this thing.

Huh. It looks like we have to live with the typos in replies. Is that true?

📚 I loved Treasure Island as a kid. Still do. I keep wanting to recommend it to my grandson, but he’s still grappling with the concept of reading for fun. I realize my sample size is quite small. Is the current crop of middle schoolers indifferent to books?

New battery for the car, $280. Being able to get to Grand Marais next week, priceless. Side note: the original battery lasted 13 years so I’m not complaining.

It’s a beautiful day here in Minnesota.

📚I usually try to keep two books going. One from Audible and one on the Kindle. Currently listening to Ellis Peter’s The Pilgrim of Hate and reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Podcasts and lawn mowing are like chocolate and peanut butter.

📚Finished the Audible version of The Three Musketeers a while back. Impressive narration by John Lee and a great story to boot.

📚Finished N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate, and so on to another book. I’ll read The Stone Sky in a bit, but I’m going to tackle Bruce Catton’s Terrible Swift Sword first. It’s the second volume in his Centennial History of the Civil War. I read this quite some time ago, but memory fades.

Setting up Drafts to micro.blog. Please excuse the interruption, we will resume our regularly scheduled programming in a moment.

📚Picked up The Obelisk Gate again after having set it aside for nearly a year. I was getting too deeply invested in the characters, so I left it for a time. Now I’m back to enjoying it. Anyone else left a book you liked for a while and then come back to it? Why?

Stopped cross-posting. Hadn’t posted much on the old Twitter recently anyway. Just read.

Shouldn’t have had that cup of coffee at dinner. Dang.

Newbie here. Micro.blog sure ain’t twitter. But twitter sure ain’t micro.blog. Different feels in each.

I’ll miss you Aretha.

Ahh. Beautiful sleep. Why dost thou elude me?

So, up early tomorrow to head to Florida. I’ll be a bit north of the red tide.

THREE NOTEBOOKS?

A bullet journal, a long-form personal journal, and a project-based notebook/sketchbook. I may have a problem. Briefly tried consolidating, but that was a failed experiment.

I wish to thank Kirk McElhearn for the clear instructions on rebuilding iTunes Library.itl.

Time to head out to vote. #mnprimary.

Did I figure out how to crosspost to Twitter from micro.blog?

Following @macgenie cause you gotta start somewhere.

This is the start of something big, or maybe not.
