Rain the horizon. Not today, but likely tomorrow. 80% chance by then, but the sleepys are here already. I didn’t even get up until sometime after nine. In true vacation form I didn’t do anything. I didn’t write until I started to blog a little bit ago, and it is nearly 4 pm. So, yeah. It’s a sleepy day and this, written between yawns, is a sleepy blog. Everyone deserves a day of not doing anything. I don’t have the juice to do much more than what I am doing right now. In general lately I shut down after 4 pm. I might slide through some grading or other non-creative endeavors, but do not ask me to write in the evenings. I’ve conditioned myself out of it if for no other reason than to spend more time with the Lady Talis. It’s the best part of my day.
Tomorrow it is coffee in the morning and we leave the house to do that. It means I have to get up and get moving, which is the opposite of how it is going today. I am not at all mad about the way the day has gone though. I expected to fall into a writing routine, but instead fell into the nap trap. I did get one of 4 drafts done yesterday, so there’s that. Time is running out and I keep running at the same old pace.
So be it. This is summer, after all.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Man Builds Autonomous AI-Powered Water Gun Turret to Keep Pigeons Away” Maybe less bonkers than absolutely bad ass. This is my AI hero of the week.
- Oooh… AI hero of the week sounds like a new column. Let me give it some thought.
- Beckham is back with the Giants but lacks a number and might not even make the team. He is a longshot right now. I hope he does make it, because when healthy and at the top of his game he is electric. I see him being useful in the slot this season as a possession guy. Still, as I said, he doesn’t even have a number. He’s wearing Carter’s #3 right now with Jalin Hyatt still rocking #13.
