Oh dear reader,

What a fool I’ve been!

Every job needs attention - right up until the end.

And last night?

I finished a post,

But forgot to hit ‘send’

I was writing all night - so many posts!

So many good ideas!

I lept from one to the next to the next.

Like a villain in a Bond movie, I forgot to check to make sure the main character was dead before I went to finish off the world, I moved on to more writing.

The bonus in a Bond film?

The ‘good guys’ win.

The bonus here?

Well dear reader, I still have yesterday’s post. I’ll post it tonight.

And in addition?

I found the inspiration for this.

We are but ghosts and an idea.

There are no mistakes here.

Just ideas we haven’t met yet.
