Three Concerts, A Game, and No Idiot Story

Sorry for not.posting for so long. I’m not dead, injured, sick, or kidnapped. As I doubt very much that any kidnapper would be able to duplicate my inimitable style you can believe the first sentence.  What I have been is both busy and discombobulated. So much has gone on that I don’t have the space […]

It’s Tuesday and I finally have time to write about Sunday. I went to see Amy Kucharik and Gracie Terzian at Astoria Bier and Cheese. This was exciting, Amy’s first New York gig since I met her. Amy is someone whose shows are so entertaining that I watched her streaming shows before COVID-19. I did […]

Dateline the teacher’s lounge. My new plan is to sit here with earbuds to shut out the world while I write. I don’t particularly like it. A weird thing is that I can’t work at a desk. My shoulder and arm are much better but I still need to have my elbow supported while I […]

I’m back! My shoulder and back are still sore but I am going to try and write today because I’ve been busy and want to catch up. Writing is good for my soul. I was going to write that writing is good for my mental health which seems more fitting for an anti-mystic rationalist. The […]

The problem with missing a day blogging is that I have to remember what happened two days ago. That’s more than a mayfly lifetime. You’ll have to forgive me I’ll have to leave out the things I forgot. Today is Thursday, counting backward on my fingers leads me to believe that two days ago was […]

Two days in a row blogging in the morning. Maybe like Stella I got my groove back. It’s not, I feel the resistance but I’m getting there. I realized last night that my functional depression was affecting my Quordle. I’m making mistakes from lack of focus. I find myself rushing. Luckily observing the workings of […]

I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]

Has the return to standard time got my circadian rhythm in better alignment with the clocks? When’s the last time I started writing as early as 9:19 AM? This is when I want to start writing. Yesterday was a long day. Two of my friends had cataract surgery and I was their escort from the […]

Wow, I’m writing this when I’m supposed to, in the morning. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Now if I can get back to going to sleep earlier so I’m rested when I wake up. I just closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I could make coffee but once I do […]
