Yesterday I went to my first wedding in almost two years; the nuptials of Seth and Emily. I often refer to Emily as my fiancée as I proposed the first time I met her. She made chocolate ganache, so it’s totally understandable. I had to buy a sport jacket and I promised you I’d post […]

I’m catching up on my life in Wise Madness. I got home from the hospital Monday evening and now it’s Thursday morning. So that’s what I have to cover today. Who can guess the first thing I did when I got home on Monday? Monday is important. I watched Game of Thrones. I didn’t want […]
I had my second cataract surgery. I didn’t die on the table. I can see! I have binocular vision!. I have stepped out of a world of two dimensions into one of three. I can now see you’re here-to-fore hidden depths. Do I really need to write more than that? I guess so if for […]
I’m back in good health, not 100% but close enough for government work. Last night I felt good enough to try eating and had breakfast for dinner, poached eggs, cheese, and ham on naan. I lived. This morning, technically afternoon I had breakfast for lunch, sausageeggandcheese on naan. I survived! There’s no discomfort. In the […]
Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

Dateline Van Merc Hill: Thanksgiving with Emily and Joe’s family is a lot like NERFA; I spend the day in my jammies, I don’t go outside, there’s lots of music, and I stay up late with other people. Friday is the day of rest between first and second Thanksgiving. I attempted to edit photos starting […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m safely ensconced in my room at Emily and Joe’s house, the Stately Van Merc Hill. Hey it’s in a state, fine, be that way, it’s a commonwealth, commonwealthy Van Merc Hill. My train arrived a little early, that does not happen with the bus, it’s always a question of how […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I did not get nearly enough sleep at night so slept late in the day. I didn’t get enough sleep last night either but I can’t miss two days in a row. This is why a kind and benevolent universe evolved caffeine. I hate to have to point this out […]
This is going to be tough, I have two days to write about and about half a night’s sleep. I need my second cup of coffee to start this. I’ll be right back. A cup of coffee in my belly and another in my hand; I’m ready to face the world. Blessed be Coffea arabica […]
