He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world.”

—Raymond Chandler, “The Simple Art of Murder”

How should you focus your brilliant life energy? And what people, ideas, causes, or projects should you bless with your many incredible talents? Just sayin’.

Like so many goldfish, you could probably flush your dead, small, dog. Again, I’m just sayin’.

mid-afternoon snack, austin?

Ha. Just another Wednesday after 14 hours in front of a computer.
