Tasks done today:

• Scolded delinquent business accountant via email with enough severity to elicit useful reply. Making progress toward incorporating my business as ebwebwork.com.


• Figured out a popular blog platform written in ColdFusion -- BlogCFC by Ray Camden. Once I get this running on my server, probably this week, it is another service I can offer to clients.


• Sent out invoices to clients.


• Conducted a photoshoot at Star Lounge. Shrank, then uploaded photos so they can download and use at will.


• Worked on web site template for my buddy Dan in Amsterdam.


• Internet / web work for clients.


• Scrubbed the sad abhorrence of my bathroom. Now fit for human beings rather than base animals.


• Worked on awkward poem about fucking.


• Worked on other shaky poems making a couple of them a little more solid.


• Re-read Faulkner's story The Brooch to see if I got it all the first time. I didn't.


• Re-read Two Soldiers because I happened by it. One of the most moving stories I ever read. Faulkner.


• Worked on funny sad poem about Multiple Girl, a fake comic book heroine, based loosely on Multi-Kate from Invincible. This one is not gonna fly. No one takes comic book poems seriously. Maybe I can get the editor drunk and sneak it into the manuscript.


• Gym. 60 min on elliptical at high resistance = 770 calories burned up.


• Biked to gym and biked back, going several blocks hands free, sitting upright with good posture, steering with my hips, without endangering life, limb, or property.

Not bad for an old man. Ya'll have a really good night.
