He's Probably A Millionaire

I don't own a smartphone, so I don't take pictures of random people unless I see something that gives cause for a double take.

This guy met that criteria....

 

I went to the mall to pick up my laptop and came across this interesting sight.  A man wearing a suit jacket, pink tie, basketball shorts, and dress shoes without socks.

I'm no fashionista (my fashion fails are well documented) but even I know you just don't do that. 

Did you miss that bolded, italic part? Basketball shorts. This picture just doesn't give the situation justice.

I told my girl he's probably filthy rich because he just doesn't give a damn. lol

She thinks he's a fashion designer. I agree! lol

More Reading Equals Better Writing

Instead of saying, "I'm reading 12 books this year" for another fruitless New Year's resolution...

I'm saying, "I will read for 20 minutes 4x per week before turning on my laptop."

This method is way more realistic and plausible. 

Right now, I'm enjoying James McBride's The Color of Water

and just downloaded The Alchemist

 

Like Stephen King said,

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.” 

He also said....

“It's hard for me to believe that people who read very little (or not at all in some cases) should presume to write and expect people to like what they have written.” 

 

What's on your reading list?
