The best-laid schemes... Or, as Mike Tyson put it:?Everybody has a plan, until they get punched in the face.
I had a plan. And then I got punched in the face, so to speak.
They say a plan is a dream with a deadline. That sounds about right. So I took my dream and tied it to a deadline. It was tight but seemed right. And then it hit me - right in the face.
I came up against health and family issues. I found snags in the plan. There's so much going on that keeps stealing time away. Murphy, bad luck, lousy planning; call it what you will. I think that, most of the time, it's just Life.?
That kind of sh*t happens. All I need to do is deal with it. The punch felt real enough but didn't break my face - only my deadline.
First, there was an idea that grew into a dream. Initially, it didn't have a name. Then I gave it the working title GrammarBob. Now, it has grown into Leon's grammarCORE - LeonsgCORE for short (website URL in the comments). My plan got me that far.
The dream is alive. All it needs is a new deadline.
So there's some exciting news coming in 2023...
