Follow-up to @thejeremyjones 5* "Bearwallow." Eager for @ourstatemag w/more, like:
"... a quiet life isn’t a passive life ... He’d done so much good, even if it couldn’t be listed on official records or captured in the stat sheet of an obituary."

Last month I wrote about my grandfather’s passing for @BitterSouth. Next month I have an essay out at @ourstatemag about Cataloochee, the place he was born:

@KlingBlog Sharply put: ”... the end result is that officials have sawed through the cage of Constitutional limits as well as checks and balances.”

@portislives Marcus Bingham posted a double-double vs DU 2 weeks ago. Bacot should go for 20-20 at least! (Not recommended for reading aloud in some living rooms.)

@MattGrossmann Hmm ... sounds as though it has the depth of clinical dissection. Brings to mind a book with perhaps more real-world applications (though I have not read either piece).

01/09/2022, First-timer success! Wordle allows only entries on its word list (ala NYT Spelling Bee), as I learned from trying MORGE. Backspace key employed, then I put the correct solution on that 4th line.

I downloaded a major dictionary app. The terms forbid using their content without written permission. I think there is a problem if all the words in the dictionary are protected from use! I can't even write to ask permission ... without permission! #chickenandegg

Hey, @LTManningWriter - "Wha??" More like "Wow!!"
This podcast is *full* of WOW insights from a terrific but "humble" and "blessed" North Carolina author. @StoryBeatPod @UweStenderPhD @SteveCuden @WritingestState

@thejeremybjones Recent episode of "The Rookie" TV series (ABC) had a killer doing the tattoo thing for DoD. Also, count me as +1 for the "In Time" film suggested by others. I am not a Timberlake fan, but he was good in that.

@AnimalsConnect Add: [Something] "went viral."

I look forward to the day when the new normal is that we no longer use the term "new normal."

Next time there is a vote

@ArdolinoAmber 'Cats' rocks, or should: I envisioned Rod Stewart and Elton John in roles. My niece thinks Ariana Grande should be cast as Victoria.
