What do you enjoy most about writing?

As a newly retired standup science philosopher (high school science teacher), I understand that writing is a SKILL. I enjoy being able to articulate myself — if not verbally (where my stutter gets full-on manifested)… then in a format that allows me to review my logic. I have different writing styles: (i) technical writing… where I am attempting to be clear, consise, and coherent; (ii) schematic writing… where I can have hundreds of labelled, colour-coded thought bubbles, interconnected with labelled linkage-arrows [this used to drive my peers in Special Education bonkers… trying to peer inside Neem’s mind… thank you for your patience, CYW-DG]; (iii) creative-technical writing… where I take perfectly good images taken from my devices and graffitti the holy hell out of them; and, let us be honest, (iv) it gives me an outlet to do some Cognative Behavioural Therapy [CBT].

By the way, ‘standup philosopher’ is a joke from Mel Brook’s 1981 cheesy & sleazy movie History Of The World, Part 1. Go to **The Roman Empire** to get the lowdown of this low-brow comedy.

In home construction news: Mr. Quinn (our construction manager [CM]) is waiting for truss delivery this week. And the excavator shall arrive to install the septic system. Here is a selection of ANNOTATED images taken during our August 13-14, 2023 site visit:

North-West corner of the build site; PN labelled on top of the image with his interpretations; Evolve Builders Group has the OFFICIAL CONSTRUCTIONS PLANS.
Evolve Builders Group widened our driveway. Take a look at the purple shading. This is a serious consideration we must address. I’m considering boulders >450 kg (>1000 lbs.) that are somehow also anchored into the underlying media. It needs to be beautiful and functional — without looking like a Jersey Barrier or an Ontario Tall Wall!
This image illustrates where the mural will eventually be installed.
Yes, we already have an artist who promised to create this installation! JM-A, thank you for agreeing to complete this project. TS will reach out to you with the timelines, eh.
South-East corner of the build site; PN labelled on top of the image with his interpretations; Evolve Builders Group has the OFFICIAL CONSTRUCTIONS PLANS.
We have to start small and get the primary living space installed. The guest annex WILL come. Impatient friends and relatives… Fear not – we have a PLAN B unofficially in place.

The vaulted ceiling is coming! And it will be epic. An authentic & grand Couger-Moose-Bear-Cat great room.
South-West corner of the build-site. The power station and pellet silo obeys all ESA and municipal building codes.
PLAN B. This is very much in the rough thinking stage, however, I agree with TS’s consideration. It!! Might!! Work!! {{{with a nod to Mel Brook’s 1974 musical comedy, Young Frankenstein}}}
This is an image of PN's spouse. We have now been together for 30 years.
TS, thank you for being with me on this wicked journey. And you, dear reader, consider visiting her enterprise: Black Dog Biscuits.
