Anticrastination

I hate when I fall behind in blogging. I didn’t blog yesterday but today I’m busy watching the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I was fortunate enough to have a friend gift me a ticket for today. This is where Gordon Privilege come in. I’m uncomfortable with most uses of “privilege.” Being treated the way everyone should […]

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 […]

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 […]

People Watching

I’m in an odd emotional space. I’ve been angry at much of what I’m hearing from people. I’m not talking about the news; I’m talking social media. It’s not all political. As I’ve said I don’t like being angry. I try to calm myself. I remind myself that it’s not my job to correct everyone […]

Sweet Garlic Entry

It’s not the morning but at least I’m writing. It would probably help if I knew what I was writing about. I’m keeping up the good dinners; last night I had sweet garlic ham steak and fried plantains. Everyone should try sweet garlic topping, it’s so easy to do. The original recipe I saw said […]

The Adventure of Artemis Fowl and My Neuroses

I’m writing less than 24-hours since my last entry. Maybe there’s hope for me yet. I wouldn’t bet on it. I know me. Last night I watched Artemis Fowl. See how cool I am? I watched it the day it was released. Well the day after it was released. Fine I’m not cool and I’m […]

The Show Went On

Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

Idiot Savant

I tell many idiot stories but here’s one with a twist, an idiot story that turns into a genius story. Like everyone else I’ve been wearing nothing but pants with elastics waistbands and drawstrings. As I was getting out of a pair I somehow managed to get one end of the drawstring stuck in my […]

Dance of the Entyvio

Good morning My Gentle Readers. I know that technically it’s not morning, it’s 7:35 PM but I woke up from a nap, so it feels like morning. Maybe the problem is that I made breakfast and had my coffee too early. I guess that’s what I should write about. I went for my infusion today. […]

Wow I’m writing less than 24 hours after my last post. I haven’t done that in a long time. Writing is good for me so when the muse strikes I’ll write. Can you tell I had therapy today? It was a bit frustrating. Our sessions have been cut to 30 minutes from 45. If you’ve […]
