Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

See now, if you remember those old Kung Fu movies, that's how it's done. The students are all practicing in the courtyard. The master sits in an elevated chair overseeing their practice, while drinking tea, and maybe smoking opium if a villain. That's the way to do it. You won't be sore after. Well, maybe hungover.

You have to pay an assistant, but an intern... I missed an opportunity to take on an intern last summer. She was a bright eyed UCSC student who asked me if I had anything like that. I should've made something up. She stopped taking classes soon after. I don't even remember her name now. Alas...missed opportunities. I regret never taking on an intern as a publisher.

DAY 89: I need to get some work done to prep for next week for Immortal (backstory research) & Den of Geek (interview questions and article framework). I have all weekend for this.

But the big thing tomorrow is we have a meet and greet for some shelter dogs in SF. We want a medium size puppy. Stacy has been wanting that since Tara moved out 3 years ago. If it works out, we may bring home a puppy. Either way, Stacy has some private clients in Menlo area after so I'll just have to hang out for a few hours, maybe walking our new dog. Fingers crossed (we've gone to meet & greets before without success).
