Got a book that turned out to be a textbook from 1970: 'Montage: Investigations in Language.' My creative self really needed this. Only 30 pages in. I already feel... Lighter? More motivated? Abuzz with wordy excitement? Here's a fun quiz for my writer friends and thinkers out there.

In today's news, I realized why birds weren't coming to my feeder (the seed had solidified at the openings). I fixed it and now I have birds again. It's a good day.
