Me 1 – Windows Media Player 0

Huzzah, I finally figured out how to change the default text on Google Docs. There are some unintuitive steps. That’s a good way to start today’s blog as I’m going to write about how I finally figured out how to fix my Windows Media Player. I had been keeping all my music on OneDrive. The […]

Parents, Teachers, Students, and Pizza

The news from school is that we had Open School night. For the first time in three years the parents were invited to the school to meet the teachers. There was a bonus, as we had to say until 7 PM we were allowed to leave early and come back and when we did, we […]

Blogging depression Donut Walk doughnuts

The functional depression has been hitting me hard. I’ve spent too much of the last two days sleeping. Realizing that I forced myself to be proactive. I took a five-and-a-half mile walk through some neighborhoods I rarely go to. Going how I just choose to walk down streets I haven’t walked before. I wanted to […]

Who are the Lab Rats?

After two nights out I stayed home yesterday. That’s not true, I took my Donut Walk™; not only that it became a Donut/French Fry Walk™. Checkers gave everyone with their app a free large order of fries. Checkers is next to Krispy Kreme, I got two delicious fried foods for free. While the 3.8 miles  […]

Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]

Donuts and Breathing: The keys to Health

I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]

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 […]

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 […]

Things went back to normal yesterday and I took my Donut Walk™. I suspect I’ll skip it today because of the Seder but perhaps not. I am not going to let a little thing like keeping kosher for Pesach keep me from donuts the rest of the week. I’m a good Jew and eat matzoh  […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I did not make my donut walk yesterday! This morning I’m tired, is that cause and effect? What spelling of doughnut do you prefer, the one that refers to the dough, or the one that I believe was made up by Dunkin’ Donuts, now DD? I prefer doughnoughts, zeroes made from dough. That isn’t where […]
