So!!!! Today is Monday, 5th August, 2019—and I’m making this DAY ONE of my PRODUCTIVITY PLAN. I’ve been…SLOTHFUL…as of late, but I’m done being slug-like and instead going to be much more erratic and buzzy, like a drunken hornet with tons of energy and only a vague sense of direction. (I think this will pay off in the long run.)
I work the closing shift tonight, but tomorrow, I’m planning on producing a nice, lengthy post about my family and my adventures at Long Beach, Washington, over the last weekend. I took a great many photos, and as soon as I cut most of the blurriest ones, I’ll implant the remaining few into a BLOW-BY-BLOW account of our journey. Hopefully, it will capture some of the fun we had.
Meanwhile, so that you don’t just have these possibly empty promises to look at, here is the comic sequence I posted this morning on my Steemit.com blog! [Editor’s note!! Steemit.com was purchased by a dictator, so I use HIVE now. It’s a decentralized blockchain controlled by the users!] Enjoy! —RFY
“Leap” by Richard F. Yates

My superhero balloon guy spots a dastardly deed while standing on top of a building! Heroically, he leaps from his perch and dives towards the street below. At the last moment, he flips to land on his….let’s say “feet,” even though we know he’s only a stickman with a balloon head. BUT he miscalculates the angle of the landing, hits the ground a bit too hard…and suffers…consequences….
(Ooops.)
