My creativity peaks with “well toasted bread” most weeks. My wife, on the other hand, chose to create a “resist” sweater, adapted from a shawl pattern. FOR HER VERY FIRST KNITTING PROJECT EVER.

A year ago tomorrow, I turned 50. I decided I’m going to Benjamin Button the next 50, so tomorrow I’m back to 49. I can do that, right?

My ADHD meds don’t help with ADHD much, but they work better to battle depression than any anti-depressant I’ve ever taken. It’s incredible and I’m blessed by the weird reality of it. But ADHD meds have a very short half life, and if I miss a day (thanks, #ADHD), I’m immediately reminded of the razor’s edge I balance upon over the darkest depths of depression.

Wow, I forgot how cool it was to have my office chair next to a window. I had a Nikon Coolpix P600 (superzoom, 60x) sitting on the windowsill at all times. It meant I got to capture some spiffy pics. :) https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B205VaUrzbd4nO #birds #birdcam

I’ve manned a lot of soundboards in many venues over the years. Nothing warms my cold heart like a singer/speaker with good mic control. :)

One of the best things about having a questionable memory when something you posted (but don’t remember) pops up and it makes you laugh because that dude has the same messed up sense of humor you do…

Remember when I drew a comic every day? Well, there were a lot of days of that. And today, a bunch of those @mybigroundworld comics became... A BOOK! (a discounted pre-order book even...) Details are in my free newsletter: https://nerdlings.substack.com/p/my-little-square-book #book #comic

Ok, probably my last push. If you considered boosting a toot about my book, maybe this one makes sense. B&amp;N has a GREAT deal on pre-orders, including mine. :) https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/my-big-round-world-shawn-powers/1143387025 (Or signed copies are available, details here: https://snar.co/book1)
