Fell off the map thanks to work and weather combining to create absolute hell in my life, get back to find that I've made 68 posts here.

My 69th should be something… witty, something hilarious and profound and insightful…

It should be…

Nice.

I want to forget the dumb old song lyrics and jokes
I want to forget the pain
I want to forget that certain things ever happened.
Remembering makes everything tedious.
Forces you to look everything up.
As if you aren't a human being,
but just a bureaucrat of your memories.

I want to forget it all
So the person from the next moment
can finally start a new.

Candy lounged on the couch as the 59th Street Bridge song played in the background. Nick came in, face glued to his phone, then sat at the kitchen table.
"No hello?"
"Wha—" His electric reverie broke. "Aw shit, didn't see ya. Nothin' #personal."
She shifted onto her elbow. "No worries. I need a lab rat."
Finally Nick switched off. "So get one?"
"No, dopey. A human lab rat." She got up and joined him at the table. "You." 1/x

“Hey, that’s too PERSONAL! Keep yer hands off me! Pervert!”

“Drink,” I ordered the Time Manager.

“Gack!!! That’s awful; what is it?”

“Coffee, now drink!”

“Yer trying to poison me, lass. Terrible! Worst coffee in the universe!”

“Making it took two weeks. With time speeding. And it’s been two days since I brought it to you.”

“Time flies… I won’t drink that! You !@#$%!”

“Now who’s getting PERSONAL? Just drink the stuff before it grows hair. You have to fix time. Sober!”

“They say, ‘Code drunk, debug sober.’ It’s why they made me a program manager.”

“That I believe.”

“DRINK!!!”

When the stranger entered the saloon, everyone stilled. The guy had an atmosphere to him, a whole weather system, you might say. His Stetson was cocked forward, shrouding his face. His duster and boots were worn, but If you looked at his hips, you could see the ivory grips of his pistols were elaborately carved. Mermaids, or maybe medusas.

He ordered a whiskey, and the bartender attempted conversation. "What's your name, stranger?"

"I don't share that. It's #personal."

Ah yes, the Altair: the "first" #personal #computer that nobody actually used, except for #hobbyists with a soldering iron fetish 🤖🔧. Let's all pretend we care about a machine that booted to blinking lights and did absolutely nothing useful. But hey, it was "first" so it gets a gold star ⭐.
