the best thing about being a writer -- part LVII
$Zero
it's the fun.
the post-it notes.
the graffiti on your wall.
...
it's your wit with telemarketers.
(and traffic cops).
...
it's taking a walk with a friend.
it's brainstorming your newest idea.
...
it's grocery shopping.
it's making sandwiches.
...
it's watching a movie.
with the sound off.
and your favorite music.
on full blast.
...
it's dancing.
...
in a park.
playing Frisbee.
flying a kite.
without any string.

I actually had fun at work today. Despite the fact I had to work on
Memorial Day.
All I wrote was SQL, which you might not appreciate.

i love SQL.
as much as it can be loved, anyway.
computer programming is another of my many fortes.
actually, i love what SQL can do more than the language itself.
databases are so cool.
spreadsheets, too.
not to mention object-oriented drawing.
and painting.

it's finding the glory in banality.

I don't love SQL. It's not beautiful, its features don't tend to be
orthogonal, it's not succinct, I can hardly do anything without
database specific extensions...
But that makes expressing myself in it an interesting (sometimes)
puzzle.
