Thumbing through pars years to see if there was a prompt I can steal for this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope. Nothing. But there was one with a link to totes-didn’t-used-to-do-evil Co.’s clip of Mike Gundy’s exasperated rant of I’m A Man. I’m 40!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I guess the biggest message of today is one of completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am excited to continue through to the end of my charge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long can I keep going one that’s finished?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know, and, to be honest, I really don’t think about it much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m listening to this<\/a> in the background, and wondering if the guest<\/a> has ever spoken at Shmoocon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess I’m somewhat-impressed with how well some of these tools work. I don’t know if it’s a chicken-or-the-egg situation, however. I suppose retrofitting some of the nifty features is easier than securing something that’s an open sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think the only reason that that’s having to happen is because the big players, who portrayed themselves as paragons of virtue, out only to make the world a better place<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this reaction<\/a> from Fargo<\/em> is a good description of how I feel about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ve buddied-up with the thugs with guns. Maybe I should be more worried about irking them, but, well, I am the one who’s seeing a psychologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’ve finished it. Completion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I don’t care, and I feel like there’s something wrong with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that said, it’s now afternoon, I’m almost out of coffee, so I’m going to stop for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow I’ll go find a flu shot, since there isn’t really a lot of interesting football with the Saints having lost on Thanksgiving, and the For(mer)skins playing Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–snip–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a resigned aside there about finishing writing so I could go do some work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of saving and finishing, Completion<\/strong>, I decided to go do the work I’d planned on doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour an a half later, I can get back to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I really don’t have anything more to add, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three more, and completion.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
