- 12:44 I'm going to bake the bread I started two days ago--sourdough takes patience!--and start turning all these bones in the freezer into stock. #

- 09:15 The canonical names are "Old Man Afraid of his Horses" and his son, "Young Man etc." I am not young, nor old. One option left. #
- 11:27 @ShellyRaeClift That's beautiful. #
- 11:29 The Old and Young men, incidentally, were not afraid of their OWN horses. Were so fierce that YOU should be afraid of JUST their horses. #

- 15:20 3319 words today. I wasn't actually DOING Nanowrimo, but if I had been, I would be 7700 words from winning. #
- 20:37 Today I learned that if you write 20K in five days, you can't climb for shit after. #
