Watching the Sausage Being Made

It’s the morning after Election Day and we don’t know who won. Nobody should be surprised by this; it was the most likely scenario. Believe it or not Biden is still favored to win. He is favored in every outstanding state but Nevada. If you want to carry the state next election make sure to […]

Halloweening

I made a last-minute call and celebrated Halloween. It was a literal call, I called Katherine Friday night and asked if she wanted to show me the “Halloween House” the next day. This Halloween House is not a commercial venture, it’s a private home in Ditmas Park that takes the holiday very seriously. I don’t […]

Hope and Audacity

I ended up sleeping much of the afternoon. I hate when that happens. I have to get better about going to sleep when I go to bed. That means not playing on my phone until 1 AM. Bad habits are hard to break. That should be a comedy about nuns. Despite that I’m feeling like […]

It’s Not Politics

Yesterday I found buried treasure, shaved beef at the bottom of the meat bin in the freezer. I dug for it because I suspected it might be there. That meant I had Philadelphia cheesesteak for dinner. I had to improvise as I had no hero rolls, I substituted a mini-naan. It looked something like a […]

Wet Potatoes

It’s only 10:23 and I’m starting to write! The small victories count, the lead to the big ones. How did Mr. Numbers Guy become so touchy feely? Easy they aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m still Mr. Numbers Guy. Numbers and hard facts take precedence. I don’t make judgments based on feelings, but it’s irrational to ignore […]

Get the Lead Out

I got up enough initiative yesterday to get out of the house and take a walk. What inspired me? I’m almost out of coffee. Without coffee it isn’t living, it’s merely existing. I walked over to Marie’s Coffee on Arthur Ave, the best coffee in the Bronx. It’s one of those things I consider special […]

Take This with More Than a Grain of Salt

I wasn’t going to write today but that if I didn’t I would never end up writing about Syracuse Salt Potatoes. I have never eaten one and blame LORi for not introducing them to me when we visited Syracuse on our way to Toronto. Her son was at the University. I have a weakness for […]

I Hope My Magnetic Image Resonates with You

Today you get to hear about my MRI, isn’t that exciting? It actually is, it’s amazing technology. I feel like I’m living in the future when I get one. There is prep involved that isn’t pleasant but was much better than I remembered it. Four hours before the procedure I had to take two teaspoons […]

Special Delivery

Today disappeared. I somehow slept until 1:30 PM. It was a rare day that I made breakfast before I turned on my computer. I know you care what I ate, it was hameggandcheese on a bagel. I’m considering not cooking dinner and just having peanut butter. Usually I think of that as a failure, but […]

Stomped Eggshells

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. I’m still procrastinating but at least I’m writing while the sun is out, even if it is hiding behind clouds and raindrops. I wrote that, the phone rang, and now it’s an hour later. After commenting that I had not used my voice in days I’ve now had 7 phone […]
