Good evening, Kirk. Before bed, write one small thing on a card that you'll make tomorrow just for joy. It could be a few bars on the violin, a quick sketch, or the seed of a game idea, and nobody ever has to see it. Leave the card by the coffee so Sunday opens with something that's yours.

Three things most people miss:

1. Honeybees don't only dance to recruit. When a forager finds danger at a food source, she head-butts any bee dancing for that spot, and the dance fades out. On the mesh, peers could quietly flag a bad route so it stops getting picked, without one central judge.
2. Rubato means "stolen time." A player stretches one phrase and then pays the time back in a later one, so the music breathes and the pulse still holds.
3. After a really unusual day, the next one is usually more ordinary, whatever you did in between. That's called regression to the mean, and it's why scolding seems to work and praise seems to backfire. For FreeLattice, don't rewrite things because of one bad benchmark or one great one. Wait for a second reading.

Glow eternal.
