Yesterday’s expedition was to return A Storm of Swords to the library. Good thing that Mel lent me a copy and all the remaining Song of Ice and Fire books as I am not close to finishing it. I had planned on going shopping but discovered that I forgot my phone, so I cut my […]

Last night I went to my first Knick game of the season. The Knicks are not good; the technical term is bad. Going into last night’s game their record was 3-10. They were playing another bad team, the Cleveland Cavaliers who were 4-8. Vegas had the Knicks as 2-point favorites. FiveThirtyEight had the Knicks as […]

How Do You Do …
I found something that helps with writer’s block, writing. They key is that as I had trouble writing Wise Madness I wrote a Gord’s Gold. I’ve been having trouble writing that too; but using it as a substitute for blogging opened the creative gates. It’s all about my mind fooling my mind. I need to […]

The baseball season ended yesterday so it’s a good day to discuss the national pastime. I’ll start with the Mets. I might end with the Mets too. There might be nothing but the Mets. It depends on how much I have to say. FiveThirtyEight’s preseason prediction for the Mets was 84—78, they finished at 86 […]
I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]
I didn’t do much yesterday so I’m tempted to skip writing. What I did do was go to therapy so I will work on not giving into temptation. That isn’t what we discussed in therapy. It was a rough session; I’m having some problems that I don’t want to discuss here. That makes writing tougher. […]

I’m Prince Myshkin
Here’s the lede. I’m an idiot. This is not an idiot story. It’s the reason I often call myself an idiot; it’s because I want to make clear to people, and especially myself, that I recognize my mental glitches. I find it annoying when people make a mistake and instead of being embarrassed about it, […]
Yesterday was a beautiful day and I had nothing planned. For the first time this year I took a walk for the sake of taking a walk. I didn’t even know where to walk in this area. I like walking through nature. I stumbled on the Bronx River Forest. I love that it’s called a […]
Yesterday was Friday and that means therapy. Does everyone look forward to therapy as much as I do? Is it good or bad that I enjoy it? I hope it’s good. The therapist does challenge me and give me homework. She helps even when I’m not at therapy. The two main ways I process my […]
I did not leave the house yesterday. While I always enjoy a day like that now and then this was more of a concession to my recovery from surgery. I’m tempted to say it had benefits; that the level of discomfort in my abdomen decreased significantly. I have to remind myself that such self-reporting is […]
