A curious experiment...

I keep hearing about this thing called The Most Dangerous App, where the idea is to start write something and to keep at it for a prescribed amount of time (I was offered 5 minutes), with the "kicker" being this: if you stop typing for 5 seconds, you lose everything you've typed.

Here's my first serious attempt with the site, written about my Friday visit to Feht's. It's incomplete, but it's five unedited minutes of writing:

ok. let's see just what kind of drivel I can write here for five minutes.
i have not been doing much of anything interesting the past couple of days here at the house in Pagosa since returning from the eclipse. Perhaps the most interesting thing was to go visit Feht.
Feht has aged since the last time I saw him. Maria, his wife, looks as hale as ever, but Alex's beard is heavily streaked with grey and his hairline has moved back at least an inch, in my opinion.
Feht's son, William, was there, visiting in the aftermath of the entire clan having traveled to Idaho to watch the eclipse on the 21st. William looks eerily like his father, though at a younger age, naturally. When someone came out onto the porch after I parked my car in front of the house, I looked up and, for a moment, honestly thought it was Feht who had emerged to greet me. It wasn't, and I probably made a damn fool of myself, I forget what I said to William, maybe it was something... no, it was some kind of idiocy.
Anyway, I

As it turns out, the experience was not as harrowing as some would have you believe. Then again, it was easy for me to write about my visit to Feht's. I should try this with something more challenging, like writing a story.

Cheers...
