Stuck tune: Steely Dan “Josie.” Not sure if they wore hats
at Hooters or she affixed hats to hers. Any other interpretations?
I’ve declined a LinkedIn message request from someone who

According to Hollywood, most important business decisions

Upstairs at Starbucks on Main Street in Old Town Fairfax.
Looks like a George Mason University study hall. Grimly caffeinated young

Apparently, my butt is chattier than me. It keeps dialing

Swinging by LA Fitness outlet on Beauregard. Another Civil

“Lengthy” is longer than “long.” Would “strengthy” be
stronger than “strong”? Or stronger than dirt?
Thoughts & prayers are with our Florida friends, both
those evacuating to points north and those hunkering down. This looks fierce.
Always bothers me when people address their father as
“father” & mother as “mother.” It’s one step removed from “sperm donor”
& “egg bearer”
I’ll be in San Jose next week, at the Atlassian event at the
convention center. Look me up there.

Been a quiet Labor Day weekend with everybody out of town.
What towns you all been into? Not that I’m into wanting to know what you’re

Wife getting me another pair of athletic shoes. I was just
about to show my age and call them sneakers. At least I didn’t call them
gumshoes
Downed the complimentary triple espresso at the auto dealer.
Now I can express three times as much in 140 characters.
Another morning, another round of hiding/deleting stuff
other people put on my Facebook timeline. It’s only for stuff I choose to put
there.
Saw "The Last Word" on DVD. It was OK, but Shirley
MacLaine, at age 83, is still bewitching. No mean feat.
RIP Walter Becker. Though Donald Fagen was the front, face,
& voice of Steely Dan, Becker always made his presence felt in their
grooves.
RIP Shelley Berman. WashPost obit headline (”acted alongside
Larry David”) feels random. Also did topical improv alongside Nichols &
May.
This morning, I’ve tried Starbucks’ free Wi-Fi &
McDonald’s free Wi-Fi. Honestly, I can’t tell the difference! #tastetest
Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidate’s TV ads say he
“started 3 small businesses.” Doesn’t say whether any of them innovated or

The sound of one hand clapping is applause waiting for a

Weird weather throughout the United States. Weird cold here
on the East Coast. Weird heat on the West Coast. Weirdly wet on the South

Caught episode of "Doc Martin" (series 6) I hadn't
seen. His mother returns to make amends. Starting Paul Theroux's "Mother
Land." Gripping
My productivity zoomed the 1st time I used a computer. Ditto
for binder clips and post-it notes. Whatever helps me imprint & process
paper
"Worked his fingers to the bone." Never actually
seen anyone in that condition. Does the entire work-callused epidermis
spontaneously molt?
Against advice, I still lay hardcover books face-down to
keep my place. It's backbreaking labor of a sort the author probably never
pursued.
Silicon Valley funded think tanks. They need to keep
policymakers focused on economic drivers of innovation. Current POTUS is
clueless there
This morning on social media: every artist everybody really
REALLY gets into is a genius. All others are seriously overrated or pure crap.
Glad PBS is doing an “American Masters” on filmmaker Richard
Linklater. Amazing ability to blend the accessible and experimental.
