Writes all the things. Most of the things never write back.
An Old West gunfight with numerically challenged participants:
“You know the rules. Ten paces, then turn and fire.”
“One… two… three… four… the number after four… wait, I got this. This little piggy went to market – no, that’s not it. Dang it! Give me a minute. I’ll figger this out.”
The word of the night is redemption. If you did not win at the Olympics last time, you are obligated to seek it.
Otherwise? I don’t know. If you don’t earn your Olympic redemption, do you wander around in shame for the rest of your life, unable to meet the eyes of others in polite society? All the competitors in the world all striving for a very small number of places on the victory podium, but if you do not win, no redemption for YOU.
And is redemption a zero-sum game? Because you achieving YOUR redemption at the Olympics denies someone else the chance to win theirs.

“History was made in equestrian individual eventing.”
EVENTING?
Me to dog, before I go to bed: I need to get up early in the morning.
* * *
1:30 a.m.
Dog: Get up!
Me: This is not what I meant.
Dog: It’s early, and I want to go out.
I guess I should’ve been more specific.
They say “write with joy,” but I say if Joy doesn’t show up, start without her.
I saw someone refer to food as “scrummy,” and I thought, ewww! Then I figured out it was short for scrumptious.
I still don’t like the word “scrummy,” though.
Paraphrase of a message I received: “I heard the corpse flower is in bloom in a botanical garden in Colorado. It made me think of you.”
Uh… thanks, I think?
Watching the Olympics. 400 M individual medley. How can they swim and sing at the same time?
