Civics Lesson

I have a meeting in an hour. Let’s see if I can get something written by then. What exciting things did I do yesterday? Nothing. I even made a cheater dinner, a frozen Jamaican Spicy Beef Patty. I don’t buy prepared foods anymore, not for years, but these are good and I can’t make it […]

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 […]

Horvendile In A Roman Field

I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]

Anna and the King of Poutine

I keep saying that I’m going to get back to posting regularly and I keep breaking that promise. I apologize. Today I clearly have the time, the energy, and things to write about; that is enough to motivate me.  This is spirit week at school, each day has its own theme. Monday was Pajama Day […]

Another Thanksgiving Dinner That Couldn’t Be Beat

I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]

A miracle I’m writing. Work has been frustrating, I’ll leave it at that.  O friends, no more these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, more full of joy! Raise your hand if you know what I am quoting. Why do I always see the same hands? Yes, it’s the introduction to Ode to Joy […]

Alex Battling Depression

We’ve been having midterms and I’ve had trouble finding the time to write. What exciting things have happened? On Friday night I went to see Alex Battle at Sunny’s at the other end of the universe, aka Red Hook. It takes an hour and a half to get there. I had never seen Alex but […]

Piece of Cake

Once again I’m writing from the couch in the teacher’s lounge. I miss having an office. I’m alone now so I can get things done. Have I done anything exciting since my last post? I made up the precalculus midterm. I was a little out of practice and had to recreate some of my methods […]

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 […]

Robinson & Rohe Attorneys at Law

My plan was to write during the Met game, but I got too involved in the game. The Mets are now up 8-1 in the 8th I can pull myself away. And with that the Mets go up 11-1. I am an essential member of the Mets. I missed last night’s game and they got […]
