Being (101-ish words)

    I watch my son's latest YouTuber who sets a goal to attend 4 NBA playoff games in 48 hours. From San Francisco, he flies to Miami, and then to Phoenix. Back and forth he zig-zags across our continent.  We want to be everywhere. Those of us who can't do it physically, we virtually go there with the detailed videos of such YouTubers. 

    Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. That really says it all, doesn't it? The title, not the movie. I am of perhaps the minority who just did not understand what there was to like about that film.

101-ish words

    In an attempt to both write more, and to give credence to the philosophical musings and mini-monologues running in my head around subjects from the mundane to the extraordinary (mainly mundane) -- I draw inspiration from a friend's blogposts that begin with a "100 words" piece - and begin my similar practice. A hundred and one though, because, you know ... shubh/auspicious. 

    I actually have no idea how much or how little one hundred words is. I suspect that my posts will far exceed the said amount. Therefore I include '-ish' as a suffix. 

[Addendum: this was first published on my original free blog, and it included the following (now obsolete) paragraph.]

As I type this, I haven't used the word count tool yet (assuming this archaic interface even has such advanced word processing features. That's right, I said "word processing"). The other day I uploaded a bunch of music/video files in a G-drive folder shared with my team, and included a document in the folder called "README." Does anyone remember these?? I realized only after posting it that the Gen Z's would be thoroughly confused as to my choice of document name, and prolly not even "read me." 

    I went way over 100. 

    And turns out it doesn’t have a word count feature.
