Chuckles the Clown: Born in a Trunk, Died in a Trunk

One of the hardest things about being me is that often upon hearing of someone’s death I often think of something funny in response and have to restrain myself from saying it. This explains my love of Chuckles Bites the Dust. I suspect I’m not the only one that has this problem, at least I […]

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 […]

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. […]

Roe v Fish Eggs

I’m out of the habit of writing. I must get back into it. This should have been written this morning. I have so many things on my mind. The problem is that I’m mentally sharp and it’s hard to keep things balanced on anything that comes to a point. One project that took some time […]

Majority of One

Why haven’t I written yet today? I know, it’s because I’m an idiot. I also didn’t take my walk. I put it off so long that it was already getting dark. I have to adjust my schedule to Standard Time.  Remember way back when that I had a disagreement with two New York Police Department […]

In FLU encer

Yesterday’s adventure was getting my flu shot. The tough part for me was filling out the insurance info while making my reservation at CVS. I know I have Medicaid but filling out the info still gives me anxiety. CVS has all my information; I get my prescriptions there. I wish there was a check-off box […]

I Said Poll Worker Not Pole Dancer

I have a good excuse for not blogging yesterday, I was working the polls from 5 AM to 10 PM, with two one-hour breaks. I set my alarm for 4:15 but somehow awoke on my own a few minutes after 4:00 I decided to use that extra time to eat breakfast sitting down at home […]

What’s So Funny About …

For the first time since Lefty died, I got a proper night’s sleep; I went to sleep at 1AM and woke up at 7AM and slept straight through. Sure, I’d prefer to get 7½ hours of sleep, but I can go indefinitely on 6 and this is better than I’ve been doing. I woke up […]

I’m pro-life and anti-stupidity

In yesterday’s Wise Madness I was lamenting being isolated, so what happened? I got a call from Katherine who invited me to join her in the City. We didn’t do anything special, just coffee and walking the neighborhood but what matters is the human contact and the cappuccino, and the snacks. I shocked Katherine by […]

So Sue Me

Good morning campers. Oh it’s 2:22 PM, that’s technically afternoon. I didn’t wake up until 12:15 so for me it’s morning. When I sleep late like that, I call it the land of the lotus eaters. I was doing that often for a while and I forced myself to stop. I’ll let myself do it […]
