How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]

Molto Vivace

I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]

Odd Man Out

I should have written this morning, late is better than nothing but need brooks no delay? Can anyone identify where that quote is from? Part of how my brain works is that I have trouble remembering many things but others the path to some memories are so well-worn that I can access them instantly. I […]

6s and 7s

Here’s something that renters everywhere, especially ones in New York can relate to. On Thursday, the spout in my bathtub fell off and won’t screw back on. I cannot shower without that as the water just comes out the bare pipe. The part that prevents that is in the spout. I immediately texted my landlord. […]

Baseball Has Been Berry Berry Good To Me

Most days I wonder what to write about, not today; It is my favorite day of the year, Opening Day of the baseball season. Everything is still possible. I usually write an emotional poetic ode to the greatest game but this year I’m going to get more granular. I’m living in a different baseball world […]

You Realize of Course This Means War

I did not blog this morning but at least I’m blogging tonight. This is only 12 hours late. You know that functional depression I was talking about? That’s past, now it’s just depression. I talked to my psychiatrist today, he was the first to hear it, don’t be jealous. He called me. If My Gentle […]

Those Were The Days

Let’s see if I can write this fast and get my day going. I’m behind schedule but I think it might be more important for my mental health to get back to writing before breakfast even if that means not eating breakfast until 12:30. I just had an idea and if I wait, I’ll probably […]

Idiot² Story

I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]

I’m not dead. I’ve just hit a dead spot in writing. I have to get myself back in the writing habit. I did things the last two days, that helps. My friends Mark and Beth opened a restaurant/music venue, The Porch, in Harlem. Mark and Beth have a canonical order. I never know how that […]

Eggheads

Don’t let the next paragraph fool you, this is not a depressing entry. This year is getting off to a slow start. First, I stayed in bed until after 11 o’clock. I hate when I keep falling back asleep. It has become difficult for me to resist the comfort of not opening my eyes or […]
