If you eat meat, read on! If you don’t, just pass on by.

Or, more appropriately, Being Free From Caffeine.
On February 9 2020, I decided to give up my caffeine habit. Instead of ingesting caffeine habitually, I’d cut back, and only do it medicinally.

As I grow older (not about to claim that I’m wiser) I keep coming back to the idea that change is the only constant.
I know, I know. Sounds like a fucking cliché. (And I’m going to apologize in advance for my language.…
So…this landmark occurred. I’m kind of tickled by it. While I’ve used the occasional streak freeze, I haven’t used them very often. No, I’ve done the work, despite sickness, power outages, and travel.

I haven’t talked about my writing much lately. (Then again, I haven’t been blogging regularly at all. I’m trying to change that, to start chatting with y’all again. Not going to guarantee a weekly basis, but that’s kind of what I’m shooting for.)…
