I started The Good Place last night and I am liking it, with the possibility of loving it depending on how it plays out. Only a few episodes in but so far I think Janet is my fav, followed by Michael. Chidi is fun as well.

Holy White Nonsense Batman, I forgot to mention yesterday I sorta did some. On Saturday my wife noticed some blue number chalked on the sidewalk in front of our apartment and I must admit a got a little worried. We cleaned it up and with the rain, the clean spot wouldn't be noticeable. Then I decided to look online for anything to do with the number 590...found a vague reference on Urban Dictionary, and then in doing laundry noticed more number about the complex which pretty much proved it was some notation in fixing the sidewalks. Yes, I felt like an idiot. At least I wasn't jumping to racist conclusions.

Interesting exercise from getyourwordsout. I think I channeled Frank Miller's Batman or something...my keyword was leadership. The challenge was fun in a way. It forced me to think of new words to use for the word wrap. Basically you wrote via the prompt, but when the sentence wrapped to the next line, it had to start with the bolded letter.

Clinging to the rail, I stand and look over the city, my city, and try to think how I can teach, no inspire this child beside me. It’s her city next, I know this. I am only

Responsible for today. This present. Yet I must prepare her for her future. The future of the city. The future the enemy wants to take away. But I mustn’t get into the

Error of thinking my way is the only true way. I can only give her what I know, and must be certain I allow space in my training for what she makes herself. The

Trust she has placed in me, to train her and lead her, I cannot betray that. The city deserves better. She deserves better. I will accept this challenge. I will train her to

Inherit the mantle and know the pain and fear the people of the city feel. To not turn her back on it, to always get up even when it’s the last thing she wants to do.

Nothing else matters. Nothing else will ever get the city back to its people.
