Brings us caught to today, oh yesterday all right. <\/p>\n
To start at the end I have to tell you what my evil stepfather used to say:<\/p>\n
“Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.”<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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’. <\/p>\n
The mission was to be–not a leader, follower, or even hermit monk–but a catalyst. <\/p>\n
I thought that was pretty fine. Especially considering the context. <\/p>\n
Today was most surely a catalytic day. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Publishing could come later. <\/p>\n
And now too it has. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
