I’m practicing what I preach this afternoon. With the new strains of COVID-19 we need to be even more careful. I found KN95 masks 10 for $10 and bought a pack. They don’t arrive until Tuesday. My plan was to go to Aldi today. The bus stops much closer to me on Sundays and I’m […]

Today’s writing soundtrack is Il Trovetore on Met Opera Presents on WQXR. That was one of my father’s favorites but all I know about it is the Anvil Chorus. I don’t know why I felt compelled to tell you that, but I did. It has nothing to do with what I’m writing about. I’m not […]

I’ve been better about blogging every day but missed yesterday. I’ll blame therapy as it serves something of the same purpose for me. The thoughts bounce around my head with such force that they hurt if I don’t let them out. Right now, my thoughts are on bacon. I ran out of bacon about a […]
Last night was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were The Bright Siders, Shanna in a Dress, and Izzy Heltai. A month ago, the only ones I knew were The Bright Siders, I’ve known Kristin Andreassen forever, Critter through Kristin, and Kari for close to […]

I usually watch streaming concerts on Sunday. I decided that I just didn’t feel like it today. My plan was to listen to Irish Music on WFUV while I write. Then just as I was starting I got a message on FB that Rod Picott was going live and I haven’t seen Rod in ages. […]
We had an insurrection yesterday, an American Beerhall Putsch. I will address that, I have to, but let me calm myself first recounting my day. I had a pleasant morning, during breakfast, eggs Horvendile, I watched The Expanse, the best show on TV. Last Wednesday I forgot to watch. Yesterday I watched as soon as […]
I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]
I’m out of coffee so I’m drinking hot chocolate with breakfast instead. I love the hot chocolate, but it does not have the caffeine kick. I fell asleep before I could write. Then in the middle of the afternoon I started writing. I got a little way in when Kathy told me that there was […]
I need to write, and I need to buy potatoes. I’ll write first as that does not require moving. I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday, the first time in a while. While we were on the phone the front doorbell rang. I shouted, “I’ll be right there I’m getting a mask.” As I […]
I’m feeling good about myself today. Yesterday I did some things that would be routine for most people but are a struggle for me. One was depositing a check; I didn’t just have my usual anxiety that comes with that, but I had trouble logging into my online bank account. That always sets my anxiety […]
