I got a new hat thanks to Portly Pirate. It’s a keeper.

Talked about that, New Vegas, too much about Gorzug, a little about Restarting the Apocalypse (Chatfield). Met some of the normal NPC on the rounds.

Missed my “before breakfast” goal again this morning. I’m not giving up on it. I actually expected that I wouldn’t be able to make such a drastic change to my morning line up all at once and without difficulty. Still, aggravating.

Talked Chatfield, Dead Money, and what a lovely morning it is.

After 2 days of getting my writing in before breakfast, I fell off the wagon this morning. I talked about that, the possibility that Mr. Gorzug might be AI generated, Michael Chatfield’s history with litRPG as a lead in to reading book 5 of his Restarting the Apocalypse series, the Fairy Voice Mother’s enthusiasm for explaining how sound works in humans, and Eric Clapton on stage exhibiting quiet mastery 20 years ago. So, I’ve had a full morning, it’s only 10:30 and the only thing I have left to do this morning is a few word sprints before lunch.

Talked a lot about my morning routine and how I’m trying to change it up to make sure the writing happens. Going back to my roots and trying to remember how it felt when I did it for fun.

Talked about Ensign Hale (Officer in the Union Fleet) and Mr. Gorzug.

Yes, you’ll want to punch Hale and maybe kick his superiors. Gorzug feels like Terry Pratchett meets Basil Fawlty in a struggling school somewhere in the Midlands. I loved them both for different – mostly technical – reasons. I may have spent too much time on them.

Just a fancy “looks like rain” cloud. It didn’t and I wished I hadn’t worn the rain shell.

Talked about FNV, finishing Union Fleet, and starting Mr. Gorzug, Substitute Teacher. It’s brilliant.

Eight hours of sleep, that is. It puts me out later but maybe it’s worth it.

Talked about Officer in the Union Fleet (again), getting old, and the people and dogs I met along the path this morning. Also getting old means I start talking like an old man.

Slow and ragged day. Started the walk too late but the ambient temperatures weren’t horrible. Talked about Fallout New Vegas and Officer of the Union Fleet again. Touched on Nate-oWriMo.

Because I was busy not putting my shoes on. I talked about Joe Durham’s Officer (book 6) series. It’s beautifully done. Also Charlie Crews in Life (Amazon Prime TV). Probably some other stuff that I’ve forgotten. Mostly just enjoying the morning.

At least in feel. It’s actually a couple of degrees warmer this morning but less humid. Talked Fallout New Vegas, fun with linux compatibility layers, and – at the end – Georgia Satellites (for some reason only my subconscious knows).
