Windy City

I wimped out on my walk yesterday. Winter ignored the calendar and came back yesterday. I saw that the feels-like temperature was 19º. I was OK with that. It just meant getting out the cold-weather gear I thought I was done with for the year. I grabbed some shopping bags and started on the two-mile […]

Wailin’ not Pirate Jennys

I didn’t blog yesterday. I hate when I don’t blog especially on a day that I didn’t leave the house. We’ll count that as a loss and move on that’s a key to winning baseball and life, play one game at a time. On Thursday I did do something worth writing about and even have […]

No Fuss and Feathers, Makes a Great Day

I have no excuse for not blogging until 2:19 PM on a day where I have to make a shopping trek and then go out tonight. Now that I got my guilt out of the way I’ll talk about yesterday’s actual adventure. I not only left New York City but I crossed the Hudson River. […]

Meditations on Depression with Eggs

I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]

Those Were The Days

Let’s see if I can write this fast and get my day going. I’m behind schedule but I think it might be more important for my mental health to get back to writing before breakfast even if that means not eating breakfast until 12:30. I just had an idea and if I wait, I’ll probably […]

Idiot² Story

I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]

Getting Back in the Writing Habit

So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]

Eggheads

Don’t let the next paragraph fool you, this is not a depressing entry. This year is getting off to a slow start. First, I stayed in bed until after 11 o’clock. I hate when I keep falling back asleep. It has become difficult for me to resist the comfort of not opening my eyes or […]

Solstice Celebration

Sadly, I did not carol on the winter solstice. Happily, I still got together with Katherine. We met at the Union Square holiday market. I’m such a sucker for those; I don’t know why but I enjoy them. Part of it is that the people that run the shops are interesting, they live nomadic live […]

The Good Old Day?

Today’s idiot story, I forgot to zip last night’s Gord’s Gold into one file then upload it to Mixcloud. It’s uploading now but that means it’s late. I promised people it would be up at noon, now it’s 2:03 PM. There’s ten minutes more to go. Since we cut the cable cord uploads go slowly. […]
