Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C

“You should act more like a #swan!”
“You mean with grace and dignity?”
“What? No. Have you ever actually… I mean swim around all day lazy and if anyone gets to close start barking at them.”

@PipeworksBrewin what malts are in your helles lager? Any wheat?

[Aaron Tells Stories @apzimmerman]

Life is like a smoothie that isn’t quite thick enough so you add some ice and blend it again but when it’s done blending it’s melted a bit more so it’s still too liquidy and you keep doing that forever.

I am gobsmacked by Andrew Sean Greer’s prose. “Less” is constantly elegant and engaging. Cover to cover. Without getting tedious or pretentious. It’s a master class.

"Like other warriors of the Kinta, I make a notch in my #belt for every kill in battle."
"But your belt doesn't have any notches."
"Unlike other warriors of the Kinta, I am real bad at fighting. Plus I really like this belt, so..."

@CliffBurns Yeah. We are a whingy bunch.

[Aaron Tells Stories @apzimmerman]

I’m going to dedicate today to finding a chance to use the word “whinging” in a sentence.

[Aaron Tells Stories @apzimmerman]

Humans, being so whingingly stupid, bargained with the fates for a say in their destiny.

I returned home to you, #weary from wandering across this wondrous world -
- only to find more mysteries in your eyes than in all of the dust-trails and swamp-safaris put together.

I pulled you close, and you smiled and kissed me and told me to take a $%@#$% shower.

The invitation was for an epic magical gathering. I expected a shadow-pointed #revel of human sacrifice and psychedelic incense. I wore my deepest crimson cloak.

But it was just a bunch of teenage boys playing a card game wtf???

After months of heads down writing, I finally completed my third draft!

More work to do but still… feels good.

Finally, Diana appeared on the stairs, quieting the babbling nobles. She wore a lustrous green dress - a gift from the king.

She also wore a hat that bore a single black #plume, our agreed-upon signal.

She had done it. The king was dead, and there was to be a war.
