The Monday that Came on Thursday

Yay! I’m writing two days in a row. Let’s see if I can go back to doing this every day. Blogging is part of my sense of self. What else are parts of my sense of self? I was going to say DJ but that’s part of my man about folk. I’m a radical empiricist. […]

Parents, Teachers, Students, and Pizza

The news from school is that we had Open School night. For the first time in three years the parents were invited to the school to meet the teachers. There was a bonus, as we had to say until 7 PM we were allowed to leave early and come back and when we did, we […]

Venn I Am in Charge

If I’m going to procrastinate I might as well, do it writing. Not going out much is tough on my writing muscles. Maybe I should entrap the muse Calliope and force her to give me inspiration. That’s a Sandman reference but it’s deeper as Gaiman was referencing me. Madoc is the character that holds Calliope […]

______ Than Thou

Judge not lest ye be judged; good advice that nobody follows, including me. I am fighting myself tooth and nail to not let this post become judgmental. I won’t succeed but at least I’ll make the effort. There I go judging the people that don’t. Before I fall down a black hole of meta, I […]

Electoral Grade School

I’m still having trouble writing but that’s more reason to write today especially as I did not leave the house. I’ll start off easy, talking about things I did. Back on Tuesday I worked the polls on Primary Election Day. That was a long day. I had to be there at 5 AM and I […]

A Grain of Sand

Last night I made the trek down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn to see Jean Rohe at the Owl. Jean is perhaps may favorite musician and The Owl is a hoot. I should just stop right there; you now know everything you need to know about me. I won’t because you don’t know everything […]

Tribal Signaling

Huzzah, I woke up with my alarm and I’m blogging in the morning. My head is in a better space, at least my sleep pattern is. You might have noticed that yesterday was hot. It was hot on Saturday too. When I went to leave to see Deni at Don’s I wanted to wear my […]

A Matter of Life and Life

My main topic today is the leaked Supreme Court decision on abortion, but I went to the Met game so will start with what I know best. My beloved Mets played a rare weekday day game yesterday versus the Atlanta Braves. Everything went perfectly … except for the game. I had my fastest commute to […]

I didn’t write yesterday but I’m writing before I eat today. I’ll take my successes where I can find them. Tuesday night I went to the Knick game. I had it enough together to make dinner before I left. That’s not much an accomplishment as I heated up leftover pork loin. I think I’m going […]

Trust

I’m having too many of these posting dry spells. As I always say it would help if I left the house some. A feels like temperature of 7º argues against that happening today. Perhaps I’ll run to the local supermarket, I need a few things. I’m not going to walk my usual three plus miles. […]
