Wise Madness
Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]
I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]
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 […]
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 […]
So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]
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 […]
I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]
I’m sitting here making myself depressed. That’s not good. Let’s see if blogging gets me out of this funk. For that to work I have to not write about what’s causing the funk. Can I get my brain to switch gears? Read on to find out. I’m writing on to find out. Let’s root for […]
I’m here at home without TV, both TV sets are on the fritz. So why aren’t I writing? Despite all my therapy the imp of the perverse still has power over me; albeit less power than he had before therapy. Until I was 16, I thought albeit was pronounced all-bate and that there was an […]
I had things to write about today and all that’s surfacing now is the potato. I made mashed potatoes last night and got more ambitious than of late. I went for garlic even though I have no garlic powder or garlic press, the ways I have previously added garlic. Instead, I decided to go full […]
