Thanks, brain. I only wanted about three hours of sleep before you decided to fully power on. 😵💫✨ Now it’s just thoughts, plans, and ideas doing laps at top speed. Would it kill you to schedule this for daylight hours?

Working with the Winter Olympics on in the background and loving it. 🏅❄️ I especially have a soft spot for curling after trying it a couple of times; it's way harder (and more fun) than it looks. Perfect mix of focus and chill today. 😄

I’d love to go, but I need y’all to show the con some love first, grab some tickets and make it a hit. 😄 Bonus points if you drop a comment saying you want Chris there (totally optional… mostly).

Finished the first two episodes of #StarfleetAcademy and we are enjoying it so far, lots of potential and some nice Trek nods. 🖖 That immediately sent me down a rabbit hole: what’s my Star Trek ranking based only on the shows I’ve actually seen? Least favorite to most favorite. Engage shields. 😄

Ok. Today is nothing but spreadsheet work. 📊 I’ve got a HUGE Delta Green coffee mug filled with Swing’s Coffee, a tasty almond croissant at the ready, and a clear mission in front of me. Caffeine, carbs, and cells...let’s go! ☕🥐

Writing day before the Super Bowl, even if my Eagles aren’t in it, we’ll still watch. ☕🏈 Got coffee, word count goal, and some noir vibes queued: Shadow of a Doubt and Gun Crazy, while I work on the next #DeadCityBlues drop for #HarlemUnbounding. Let’s go. ✍️🖤
