No Depression

I have not been writing because I have not been having adventures. That is not a good excuse. Days without adventures are days to write about thoughts. Those are supposed to be most important entries. It’s late, I don’t think I’m up to thoughts. I could write a potpourri, at least that’s the way I’ll […]

Self-Care and Good News

I have big news but still had trouble finding the wherewithal to write. After vegetating most of the day I made a concerted effort at self-care and now I can write. Let’s start with the big news. My writing funk started when my school told me to not expect to be rehired for the fall […]

Not Crossing the Line

I’m officially on spring break. After my wonderful Seder on Thursday and the Mets home opener on Friday I spent the weekend without leaving the apartment. Part of that was nice, part of that was a visit from my old friends, depression and anxiety. I was going to go to Aldi but found out that […]

Popcorns and Waffles and Electricity

I have had adventures in darkness since the last time I wrote. On Monday night I made a delicious dinner, bratwurst and roasted potatoes. To top it off I made popcorn. I spent my life scorning fancy (i.e. expensive) popcorn. I always bought Jolly Time or the store brand. I know popcorn can taste better […]

Raquel in a Roman Field

I took yesterday off from everything I didn’t get dressed. The biggest effort I made all day was making hot dogs and fries in the air fryer for dinner. No, that’s the second biggest effort, the biggest was attempting to make an omelet in the air fryer. I cooked it in a cake pan. It […]

Out of the Gas Range and into the Air Fryer

I don’t write and things happen. Let’s set the wayback machine to February 14, 2023, the place Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. Hey Mr. Peabody, why then? That’s when John Platt presented the most recent edition of On Your Radar Sherman. I am still obsessed with 60-year-old cartoons.  I have a routine now for OYR […]

Chocolate and a Contralto

I’m posting again, give me a cookie! Today is the best day ever. Why? It’s Valentine’s Day. No, that does not mean I have a Valentine. As has happened every year of my life I’m alone on Valentine’s Day. I’m not a misanthrope, not having someone special is not a good thing. So why is […]

The Downfall of the Lord of the Mondays and the Return of the Air Fryer

Some Mondays are more Monday than others or as David put it; “I hate it when Friday the 13th falls on a Monday.” I left the house this morning but had to go back because I realized I didn’t have my coffee. I got on the subway and went to do my usual morning routines […]

Indulgences

I have so much to write about and so little time. I might break this up into four entries; I have very little time now, so it will be the weekend’s vibe. This was perhaps the most me weekend since the pandemic started. I saw three concerts, hugged some of my favorite people, and ate […]

Sling Shot

I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]
