All Nine Went at Once

I had an upbeat fun entry planned for today, I did something upbeat and fun, I’ll get to that but it’s not the most important thing that happened and not what’s on my mind. Lefty the black cat you often see in pictures with me died early this morning. My roommate and I spent all […]

Back to Not Walking

I’m not taking a Donut Walk™ today. I woke up with my back hurting and decided that’s my body’s way of saying, “take a day off.” I thought my arthritis was in remission but perhaps it’s just that I went a year putting hardly any stress on it. I have not been wearing my backpack […]

Supermarket Singer

Remember how yesterday I said that I was sick, but it wasn’t Crohn’s, it was because I ate an entire box of cookies? That was wrong, it was Crohn’s albeit perhaps triggered by overeating cookies. I did not eat anything yesterday, I hardly moved. I slept about half the day. That’s what happens when my […]

Borscht Belt Morality

I stayed in yesterday and never got dressed. The news is that’s news. It’s how I have spent most of the past year. I was going to go shopping but it was raining and decided to wait for today even though the bus only stops by my house on Sundays. As I won’t be taking […]

The Wisdom to Know the Difference

Yesterday got away from me and I never blogged. I went to make one call before I started and it lasted three and a half  hours. I’m not complaining. That’s the kind of thing that makes quarantining manageable. I’d rather have done that than blogged, but I’d rather remember what I was planning on writing […]

I’m Free

I finished recording my 2020 albums show for Folk Music Notebook. It’s going to be played on Wednesday at noon and 6 PM EST. You don’t want to miss it. This is what everyone is going to be talking about at the water cooler on Thursday. Make that on Facebook; it has replaced the water […]

It’s a Wonderful Film

I’m trying to prepare my best of 2020 show, but I took time out to watch It’s a Wonderful Life, and that reset my mood. I’m now firmly ensconced in Christmas. It makes no difference that I’m not a Christian and if you asked me what person born on Christmas Day changed the world, I’d […]

Wile E. Coyote – Genius

Let’s see if I can write this before I eat breakfast, which should be around  noon. Last I told you I was going to go out and take a walk. I went into my bedroom to change into outdoor clothes, saw my bed, lay down, and took a nap. On the one hand, I needed […]

Barsoom Brawl

I’ve gotten too good at not leaving the house. The question now is, will I be able to motivate myself to leave when social distancing is eased? I hope so. While I have always enjoyed my days at home not getting dressed this is too much of a good thing. I need to see more […]
