I do that on the big screen, where I can see it, with a cup of tea on the desk, and a cat (or two)

I am in IT support, have been for years, I deal with new technology all the time, PCs, Laptops, Macs and software, security hardware/software..... my view has been for a long time "I ain't gettin' no smart phone".....I have a military issue flip phone because I break phones..... not intentionally, I am just rather rough on them..... this flip phone is the only one I have not yet broken... and I have had it for years...... I get constant ribbing about it from my IT colleagues because of this flip phone...but when their smart phones die I show them my flip phone and let them know it is still working.... and NOT a target of any malware..... My office decided this was just wrong so they FORCES me into the technology and forced a Blackberry upon me..... it sits dead on my kitchen counter most of the time......but there are occasions Mrs Xue FORCES me to use the dang thing....

By Sunday I should be able to park 2 cars in the garage.
Had a surprise temporary student show up this evening. A student doing a short internship from Germany stopped in - she will be dropping in for classes on and off for a few weeks. It was a very small class (would have been only one student), which worked out perfectly. She has several years of experience in some kind of Jujutsu (though it sounds like a hybrid art from her description), starting as a kid, and was able to pick up our techniques pretty quickly. Of course, that's because i'm just that good as an instructor.
I haven't had a garage in almost 20 years. My next house will at least have a 2-car carport.

You mean dont physically have a garage or that your garage has been a large storage shed with big doors?

Good day, all. Been a while since I could check in.
Lots has gone on. Too much for one post!

Let's see. Where do I begin?
Oh, I got the dates and cost for the 6-hour Wing Chun course.
Came up with good, solid outlines for all 3 two-hour classes.
Went out and found 3 assistants/demo partners, a different one to help me with each class.
Fun times ahead with that!

No garage, so the former. If I had one, the latter would probably be the case.

Revised all my poetry collections. Now I am in the process of getting artwork done for them, as well as formatting them for Kindle.
Got all my short stories posted on Kindle as well.

Writing-wise, there are two big news items for me.
First, the webcomic is now on hiatus. Lost my artist. I am just going to let it slumber for now.
Second is I went through and revised a novel that I wrote back in 2008. There was a rather large, intimidating section that I knew had to be cut because, immediately after I finished writing it, I said, "Damn...this crap is just filler!" However, I was stumped as to what I should replace it with. (And yes, I HAD to replace it or else the story wouldn't be novel length.)
So I let it sit...and sit...and sit.
Recently a website agreed to let me post the novel in serialized form, so I got to work revising the story. When I got to the sections that needed to be cut, I had MS Word tally up the word count and found it was a whopping 8,600 words long! CRAP! What am I going to replace that with?
I still had no answer, so what I did was chop out the offending bits and then marched forward, going to the end of the novel until I revised everything I knew how to handle. On the way, I made myself a neat little list of ideas of different threads I could stick in the story. The list was 7 items long. Upon looking back over the list, I saw 2 items were useless. However, that still left me with 5.
I got to writing, inserting them all into the narrative. (Well, all but one. Still trying to figure out a good place for it.) And wouldn't you know it? The novel is now 62,000 words long...3,000 more than it was before the excising!
Sometimes, life is good.
