Parks and Recreation

Let’s see if I can recreate the passion that I felt when I was planning this blog yesterday. I was out for a walk and inspiration was flowing through me. I got home and got tired and took a nap. This is the story the current state of my psyche. I’ll try to work up […]

Breathe

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. “What do you mean? Do you wish me a good afternoon, or mean that it is a good afternoon whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this afternoon; or that it is an afternoon to be good on?” “All of them at once.” I like when […]

O Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay!

I had today’s blog all planned, it was about breathing. With apologies to Alice Hasen, who gets a shout-out, that will have to wait until tomorrow. Today is not about breathing but about a nation breathing free. It’s taken a while to sink in. Nothing substantial has changed since yesterday, the inevitable happened and decision […]

Good Win and Good Winners

I had therapy today for the first time in two weeks. For the most part I reported progress I made. That can make blogging more difficult. I’m working on not calling people idiots; that’s like quitting smoking in tobacco shop. I can still call myself an idiot, I often do. Do I have any idiot […]

Think Happy Thoughts

How is everyone holding up? I’m going to continue to write about myself, nobody needs more anger and anxiety. One thing that gets me angry and anxious is that others don’t see it that way. They want everyone to be angry and anxious. I’m forever a hippie and advocate peace, love, and understanding. I’ll keep […]

Watching the Sausage Being Made

It’s the morning after Election Day and we don’t know who won. Nobody should be surprised by this; it was the most likely scenario. Believe it or not Biden is still favored to win. He is favored in every outstanding state but Nevada. If you want to carry the state next election make sure to […]

Breathe

I just found out tomorrow is Election Day. How come nobody is talking about it? I mean, how come nobody is talking about anything else? Karyn just summed up what I was going to write in a Facebook post. “Breathe.” I said this before, but it bears repeating, don’t torture yourself with what-ifs. Are you […]

Halloweening

I made a last-minute call and celebrated Halloween. It was a literal call, I called Katherine Friday night and asked if she wanted to show me the “Halloween House” the next day. This Halloween House is not a commercial venture, it’s a private home in Ditmas Park that takes the holiday very seriously. I don’t […]

We’re The People

I had another day sleeping too much and another day where my tummy isn’t right. I suspect those two things are correlated. I’m seeing my GI in a few weeks and I’ll ask him about it. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, I’m here to talk about the draft. No, that’s Arlo. […]

Hope and Audacity

I ended up sleeping much of the afternoon. I hate when that happens. I have to get better about going to sleep when I go to bed. That means not playing on my phone until 1 AM. Bad habits are hard to break. That should be a comedy about nuns. Despite that I’m feeling like […]
