Yesterday did not go well; I slept through much of it. That hasn’t happened since I started taking my Donut Walks™. I should have forced myself to go on the walk early but didn’t because I was expecting a delivery from Amazon. The irony is that it was my new French press; indirectly coffee was […]

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 […]

Back to Not Walking
I’m not taking a Donut Walk™ today. I woke up with my back hurting and decided that’s my body’s way of saying, “take a day off.” I thought my arthritis was in remission but perhaps it’s just that I went a year putting hardly any stress on it. I have not been wearing my backpack […]
I’m giving myself a folk music break and listening to classical music while I write this. I’ve been trying to listen to as much new to me folk music as I can to find material for Gord’s Gold. The problem is that Ted Sturgeon was right, 90% of everything is crud. I often have the […]
I missed one day but it feels like forever since I’ve written. Last night I had these serious ideas to write about. Now I’m not sure what they all were or if I will write any of them. One requires some courage on my part. I’ll start easy, idiot story adjacent, both related to Gord’s […]
I forgot to write yesterday. That’s partially because I was good and worked on Gord’s Gold. The show is streamed on Tuesday night and I finished it last night. I beat my old record for early finish by more than 24 hours! I get good enough at this maybe I can expand to two hours […]

Best Day of the Year
Today is April 1 so here’s a warning; I’m going to fool you. I’m happy to announce that I’m totally over my Crohn’s attack. Today I ate breakfast, eggs Horvendile served on flatbread, and took my Donut Walk™. I’m back to feeling like a human being. I walked 3.58 miles. I stopped on the way […]

Supermarket Singer
Remember how yesterday I said that I was sick, but it wasn’t Crohn’s, it was because I ate an entire box of cookies? That was wrong, it was Crohn’s albeit perhaps triggered by overeating cookies. I did not eat anything yesterday, I hardly moved. I slept about half the day. That’s what happens when my […]

The Joy of Mediation
Perhaps I should lie on my couch as I write this. I just got a call from my therapist’s office. She had to cancel today and no opportunity to reschedule. I’m afraid this doesn’t bode well. I love my therapist. I was given the opportunity to speak to someone else today, but I’d have to […]
Yesterday was an excellent social contact day. I got a phone call shortly into my Donut Walk™. I was going to say that my phone rang but it didn’t. I was listening to Don Giovanni and all of a sudden the music stopped. I went to look at my phone to see what went wrong […]
