Steno In The Park: Potomac Playground
Potomac Playground; Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. July 2016.
Dictation playing in my earphones + 80s & 90s hip-hop and R&B playing in the background, thanks to the park DJ= A great afternoon! [SIDEBAR: Yes, I can get every word, watch a basketball tournament, nod my head to the classics simultaneously.]

2016 Dictionary Challenge Update (July 2016)
My goal for 2016, in regards to my dictionary building, is to get through to the letter “J” in The New International Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary by the end of the year. I’m currently still in the “E” section though. Smh. I’m going to have to step up my dictionary-building efforts expeditiously to meet this goal. I’ll do another update at the end of August/beginning of September, or when I get through another letter. This dictionary is about to be my new summertime BFF. Lol.
