Contradictions

 This has almost been a day off.

It has seen me up on time.

It feels like I have been procrastinating.

I went to Payless for groceries in the morning. In the afternoon, I went for smokes up on Wheeling. The only thing planned for today was to go to the grocery. I made it nowhere else.

I made one submission today. One Story – “Coming Home”.

The email has almost been emptied - I am caught up with yesterday; most today's stuff got deleted or moved onto another day.

Fly Fishing & Fly Tying with Tom Rosenbauer (Fulling Mill Blog)

Courage And Concession (Sheila Kennedy) is one political piece that I did not put elsewhere. It only reinforces my feeling that we back in 1860.

I spent time watching videos on YouTube (which means I mostly listened).

The Naked Spur: A Retrospective by Thomas Jane, surprised by being knowledgeable and well-written. 

The Shadow | Better in Black and White - one of my eccentricities is that I think Alec Baldwin's The Shadow is under-appreciated; another voice in support of that idea:

A little history - I have read about them for decades, this was a bit more of an explanation.

I have been watching off-and-on clips from The West Wing. It was criticized for being so liberal back in the day. I think it was an open rebuke of Bill Clinton. Too bad it did not raise the level of political discourse in this country.

MW was to call. CC did. I also talked to DM. I need to call Paul S.

It is 6:56 AM. I have been awake for about 12 hours. It feels later and also not so long of a day.

So, you know why this post is about contradictions.
