Sketching out questions for the FIVE Eating the Fantastic episodes I'll record during StokerCon -- and finalizing tomorrow's Chip Delany ep.

I dreamt I was President Obama, in a theater introducing a special performance of Hamilton to an appreciative kids-only audience.

I dreamt I visited Marie Severin's mausoleum with my parents -- which is doubly strange, because IRL she's still around while they're not!

My son and I celebrated me being EXACTLY twice his age -- to the day! -- with a 5.11 mile hike. Now let's eat! https://instagram.com/p/BEuELG1HIpx/ 

I turned 22,308 days today -- while my son hit 11,154 -- making me twice his age. So this afternoon, we'll celebrate this cosmic alignment!

Finally started watching Sense8 nearly a year after the rest of you. PLEASE tell me the rest of Season 1 lives up to that amazing pilot!

It's alive! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmmartin/genius-loci-tales-of-the-spirit-of-place/posts/1558540 …

Ever receive a rejection letter so filled with positive energy it leaves you almost as high as an acceptance? Well, I just got one of those.

My first thought about the farcical finalists on this year's Hugo ballot? Strangely ... that I should rewatch Lemonade. It would cleanse.

Sure glad I already ate lunch -- because the name at the top of this list made me lose my appetite STAT.https://twitter.com/MidAmeriCon2/status/725016100887482369 …

Watched Lemonade, and yes, I know, I'm not its intended audience, but still ... wow. I was moved. Powerful, heartbreaking, and necessary.

Hey look -- it's official! I'm a Bram Stoker Award finalist! https://www.instagram.com/p/BEo9UnTHItx/ 

Ordered new glasses which look so much like my current glasses that when you see me wearing them you won't even know I ordered new glasses.

About to open a few more of Dad's Navy letters home to Mom and slip them into acid-free sleeves. Not sure I'm up for it, but ... I'll try.

I foolishly watched Fear the Walking Dead's Season 2 premiere even though I hated, hated, hated Season 1. May I have that hour back, please?

Some sensible advice from George Clooney in the latest issue of @Esquire. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEmmuU8HIhs/ 

According to SFRevu, my story "That Perilous Stuff," out in Chiral Mad 3, "is an effective cautionary tale." Thanks! http://www.sfrevu.com/php/Review-id.php?id=16759 …

Set my DVR to record Lemonade tonight on HBO -- because I'm always doing the cool and important things a day later than the rest of you.

Lost a dream because all I can read of my night note is "ME & [TWO ILLEGIBLE WORDS] ALIEN INVASION." So my memory catalyst has failed me!

I dreamt I wandered with a toddler through an obstacle-filled city, and as I went over and around them, he went under and through. A lesson?

The iris have begun to articulate. Yay! https://www.instagram.com/p/BEkFWlGHItt/ 

Home from the monthly Beans in the Belfry uke jam, where we strummed the sorriest cover of Prince's "Kiss" ever. But hey, at least we tried!

While reading Chiral Mad 3 from cover to cover, I came upon my own story, and tried to read it with a stranger's eyes. (Nice job, Edelman.)

Looking back at what I wrote about Joanie Laurer a.k.a. Chyna in 2000. R.I.P. to the Ninth Wonder of the World! http://www.scottedelman.com/2016/04/22/joanie-laurer-1969-2016/ …

A typo I only now spotted 16 years after it was made in an ad for my Steve Austin bio in the back of my Chyna bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEhP-wUnIvz/ 

How sad! A poor hummingbird was bonk-bonk-bonking its beak against a purple Easter egg hanging outside, puzzled because there was no nectar.

I do believe I've completed another short story, but -- I'm torn between two epigraphs. I'll likely be vacillating between them all day.

R.I.P. Joanie Laurer. You will be missed. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEfF2pgHIih/ 

After a long day revising, I hit the treadmill with Jessica Jones Ep. 2, and yikes can see why some found the show too triggering to watch.

Another email asks what dinner plans I had during the Chicago Nebs when I'll be in Vegas for the Stokers. Hoping for no conflicts next year!

R.I.P. Chyna, whose struggle for respect in and out of the ring impressed me as I wrote her unauthorized bio. I'd always meant to apologize.

There is no dream so sad as the one in which you buy a pie, begin to eat that pie, and from which you wake to discover -- THERE IS NO PIE.

How rapt was I by the Better Call Saul season finale? So much so my @Fitbit decided to log that hour as sleep. But I wasn't, I promise!

An intriguing growth has appeared on a tree out back. I'm not sure what it is ... but I suspect aliens. https://www.instagram.com/p/BEcgmAxnIn_/ 

And now to watch Better Call Saul's season finale, about which, considering my online life. I've amazingly been able to remain spoiler-free.

One week from today, I'll be 22,308 days old. My son will be 11,154 days old. To celebrate, I plan on doing twice as much as him all day!
