RUNAtic on the Grass

Thanks everyone for all the encouraging reactions I got to my last post. It makes a difference. That’s as far as I got writing yesterday. I still don’t have this procrastination thing beat. I’ve spent so much time listening to streaming concerts the last few days. The big thing was the GODERICH CELTIC ROOTS FESTIVAL. […]

Matthew 6:12

Sorry that I’ve been MIA since Monday. I had a bad week; to which you should respond, “If you had a bad week why should I suffer?” Anyone know where that’s from? What if I told you it was said by Menachem the beggar? Yes, that’s right, it’s from Fiddler on the Roof. It’s in […]

Music and the Garden

Usually I’ve had nothing to write about in the age of COVID-19. Then I was too busy to write yesterday about what happened on Saturday and now I have too much to write about. After all that I bet this will be short. I can pretty much summarize it in one sentence; “I love my […]

Census Bureaucracy

I have twenty minutes to write and post my first entry in days. I will cut right to the chase. Today I had my training session for the Census Bureau. They sent me an email with the time and place after checking with me to find that today worked for me. It was at 1 […]

Air on a Conditioner

I accomplished something today. After suffering for weeks, I put in the air conditioners! It took me all this time to overcome my anxiety and ask the super to send someone up to install them. The guy never came. Then I realized, the reason I needed someone to do this kind of thing for me […]

Just the Facts Ma’am

I got a call last night from Marc to ask why I hadn’t claimed my fantasy baseball team in our league. That’s not unusual. That’s one of the ways my anxiety manifests itself. I have made progress and thought I was past that. I am. I never got the email telling me the team was […]

Live, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Baseball

I got two phone calls today which slowed me down. Since the day before my birthday I’ve gotten so many calls that I haven’t felt the need to call anyone. There are specific people that I want to talk to, but I’m all talked out. This is a good problem to have. The seal on […]

I’m listening to We’re About 9 now so I should say, I’m “Writing Again.” I wonder what fraction of My Gentle Readers get that? There was a time it would have been most of them. I’ll explain it before finish. What’s the excitement since I last wrote? My therapy was canceled today, and I couldn’t […]

Theory of Mind Failure

I’ve been bad about writing. I’ll make up for now. I’m starting to write while I’m listening to Suzie Vinnick. That’s tough because I like watching Suzie and I like heckling via chat. I have no idea why any musician puts up with me. I really do know, it’s because I make it clear that […]
