PROMPT: This Evening

What are you doing this evening?

Who can know such things? I’m not a fortuneteller. But as I just came off a travel cycle, a betting person would put his money on something sleep related.

PROMPT: Ideal Week

Daily writing prompt
Describe your ideal week.

My ideal week would consist of seven days, each day of about twenty-four hours. You could fit four of them in a month with room to spare.

PROMPT: Athletes

Daily writing prompt
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

Muay Thai fighters. To survive careers spanning of hundreds of fights, taking knees and elbows, is a feat. While they might not be fighting as often these days, you still probably have to go through a period of a fight per week to raise up to the point where you can have a more sensible rest-to-fight ratio.
