Citizen Idiot

How did it get so late? Oh yeah, that time thing; it even passes when I’m taking a nap. I hate this not getting enough sleep business. Enough of that, I have a tale to tell. It’s full of sound and fury and told by an idiot. When I left the house I knew that […]

Treebeard the Mnemonic

Back to being a health blog. Yesterday I had my first infusion of Entyvio for my Crohn’s disease. People are taking this news the wrong way. I did not get any sicker. I’ve had Crohn’s since I was a 12, you’ve never known me without it. I’m in one of the best periods of my […]

I have so much to write about and limited time. I could have said that each of the last three days when I haven’t written. Over the last three days I’ve seen three concerts and a basketball game. The reason I haven’t written is trouble sleeping at night and therefore sleeping late in the mornings. […]

I woke up this morning with a very sore shoulder and I’m typing this through the pain. That is how much I love My Gentle Readers. But I’m not crazy, I’m taking acetaminophen; I’ll be right back after a word from our sponsor. It doesn’t work that fast but I feel better, placebo effect. I’m […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

How Come There’s No Such Thing as Bar Mitzvah Bias? Antisemitism?

I owe you an apology; I didn’t blog yesterday. I got a call from Jane that she needed my help and I went over there instead. I hope you managed to survive without my words of wisdom. I’m helping Jane clear out her apartment. Anybody know how to get rid of a collection of vintage […]
