A while back, I started calling bananas "birdnanas" for some reason. "Hmm, think I'll have a birdnana." That kinda thing. Now I can't stop. I live alone. I don't say it in public - only to myself at home. "This sure is a tasty birdnana!" So is there any harm in forever calling a banana a birdnana?

It's the kind of day when I almost type in a search for 'cost to start your own record store/coffee shop/writer/artist hangout' but don't trust the AI results to not give me some kind of false hope.

Was reminded of this John Updike quote: “Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead.”
RIP to yesterday me. What will this fresh thing do today!?
