Catalyst (Trigger Warning)

Brings us caught to today, oh yesterday all right.

To start at the end I have to tell you what my evil stepfather used to say:

“Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.”

I have done my best ever since to get the hell out. To say the results have been mixed would be to mince words. I’ve failed, but often spectacularly.

Tonight I was watching a PowerPoint god help me, and the lady speaker brought up her company’s mission statement. The key word in it by her lights was ‘catalyst’.

The mission was to be–not a leader, follower, or even hermit monk–but a catalyst.

I thought that was pretty fine. Especially considering the context.

Today was most surely a catalytic day.

I bought the seventeenth domain and got it hosted. If you are reading this, then you know its name. My name, in context. I should say more, and I will, presently.

I had realized only a few days early that I didn’t need it, to start writing daily again. All I needed was a folder called 2019, and a directory inside it that said 4 for the month, and some files called by the day with a .txt extension.

Publishing could come later.

And now too it has.
