I foolishly proclaimed today NICE DAY because I have been especially unkind of late and people are complaining. Obviously, it was a shoot from the hip decision. How can I possibly be nice for a day? Neutral would be almost an impossibility itself.

Sedation. However, according to the by-rules, that is not allowed. I don’t know if someone rendered me unconscious by hitting me over the head with a cast iron skillet if that would make them not nice and I would come out ahead by default – albeit with a resultant faulty head.

One of the things that others have found irksome is my tendency to declare everyone a “dud”; my claim is I have won my “e” and am a cool dude. Someone here has a Bamboo drawing accessory for her computer – compliments of her grandpa – and I think I will ask her to sketch some pictures of my “cool dudeness.”
