Last Minute Homework

        Unfortunately, this entry will be little more than a stream of conscience piece of shit. It is late and I don’t feel like writing anything, let alone a coherent essay. But I am committed to keeping the everyday factor and there is no reason to throw in the towel with 50 minutes left.

        Why didn’t I use some of my time more productively and write something worth reading earlier in the day? Great question. A personal disclosure is that I have a slight problem with procrastination. And I was playing Sid Meier’s Civilization V for far too long.

        I did make time to spend most of the day with two friends. One, I’ve known for 30 years and the other almost just as long. One is doing quite well and the other is at the other end of the spectrum.  It was important to see both and I hope I enriched both of their days.

        Chocolate chip cookies might be one of the best treats ever created. And the ones we had were not even scratch baked, but pre-made dough. At least we get credit for baking them. I like them slightly underdone, so they are even chewier; warm, right off the cooling tray is definitely how the devil bribes some for their souls. (Those how like really dry and crisp chocolate chip cookies, well, you’re communists.)

I thought I had enough words, but I then realized that I was just typing after a previous draft and the word count was actually a combination of the two. Not that quantity should matter over quality, but since you’re not getting the latter, I was hoping to provide the former. I looks like a daily double of losing. I’m off to play Civ V.
