I’m back from the hospital and finally ready to write. One thing that has come right back to me is forgetting my brilliant idea of what to write. Somehow starting like this seems very me. My energy is low but my built-up demand is high for writing is high. These thoughts have to find a […]

Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]

Gut Check
Yesterday’s agenda was medical, an appointment with my surgeon and then PT. I have the commute across the Bronx down pat, I got to the sign-in desk exactly on time. I am stupidly proud of my punctuality and commuting skills. I keep telling you that I’m an idiot, why won’t you listen? Good news from […]
For years I’ve set my alarm on weekday mornings for 8:30. I decided last night to move my schedule up half an hour and wake up at 8:00. The alarm went off, I woke up, turned off the alarm, and fell right back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 8:29. This adjustment might take […]
My plan was to see Mama’s Broke, one of my top NERFA discoveries. They are a trad duo from Nova Scotia. Google Maps said I would be a little late but I managed to do better than it thought possible. When I arrived I saw Howard in the audience. He loves Canadian bands and I had recommended that he go.

Barnaby Jones Bright
Last night I did the same thing I did the previous evening, I went to see Barnaby Bright, this time at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. As has been happening too often I had subway problems so I didn’t have time to go to the newish Lower East Side Trader Joe’s for the first time […]
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 […]

Sick Day
My digestive issues have moved passed minor. I’m having what I used to call a Crohn’s attack but my current doctor says that I shouldn’t. It’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction caused by old damage. I’m not in pain but I have not eaten since Thursday night. I have been spending most of […]
I had a nice little edition planned for today. Today’s events have driven it from my head. That is not a good thing. Drama is only good when it happens to fictional people. My alarm woke me up as usual at 8:30. Between midnight and then my phone is on Do Not Disturb. I saw […]
I saw two different surgeons today so I’ll start with that. First I saw my ophthalmologist for my post-op for my left eye and the pre-op for my right. Everything looks good. If my insurance company approves the other eye this week the surgery will be on March 4, otherwise it will be March 18. […]
