The challenge started in January 2025 as something to amuse myself, which might also be fodder for a future book. Who knows where this stuff goes? In the four months or so that I’ve kept this document, I don’t always write every day, but some of the entries are good for a Facebook post here or there. In turn, I could take one of the ideas…
