I’m extremely disappointed, yesterday I finally felt up to going on my Donut Walk™. I managed to walk 3.57 miles, talk to Allison, and buy eggs. I had one bad moment when coughing led to a back spasm, but overall, I felt good. I figured the worst was over and I could get back to […]

Huzzah, I did something more than a Donut Walk™ yesterday. I went to visit a real live friend! I got on the subway, traveled to Brooklyn, and met Katherine in Prospect Park. I am losing my Brooklyn cred; I incorrectly pictured the Parkside subway station and its relationship to the park, and I know longer […]

I didn’t start writing quite as early today but it is still morning, 10:24. The great donut diet experiment continues. I took my walk to Krispy Kreme yesterday even though it was misty with an occasional drizzle. I almost turned around and stayed home but decided that it wasn’t so bad, and I need to […]

I ate breakfast an hour ago and I’m hungry. Why don’t I weigh 5000 lbs? It helps that I won’t eat again until I finish writing. I could also make more coffee. Four mugs isn’t too much, right? Do other sensualists focus on coffee and chocolate like I do? I could be a happy hobbit […]

Like so many others my thoughts today are dominated by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I feel that I should write about her, but I feel that I’m not qualified to write about her. If you want to learn about her life and importance of her work there are far better sources than me. […]
Good morning, well good afternoon, would you believe good evening? I’m writing this only 12 hours late, it’s 9:33 PM. Remember the days I would bang out an entry every day before noon. There were semesters I banged them out before 8 AM. COVID-19 has a strange affect on time. It must have to do […]
I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]

I’ve gotten too good at not leaving the house. The question now is, will I be able to motivate myself to leave when social distancing is eased? I hope so. While I have always enjoyed my days at home not getting dressed this is too much of a good thing. I need to see more […]
Oh no, my therapy session is canceled for Good Friday. Now sure I could kill someone and win on an insanity defense, but I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll have to find another silver lining. I did; it gives me time to leave the house. I’ve been very good about isolating but I need […]
I’ve become a late in the day blogger. I prefer writing in the morning because I think that’s easier for My Gentle Readers. Don’t blame me, blame my friends that have eaten into my blogging time. Yesterday Bri called me, today I met Carolyn for lunch. I wouldn’t normally want to blame my friends but […]
