Please No Bull About Kabul

It stopped raining and the sun is shining! I kept getting flood warnings on my phone and I figured we were in for 40 days and 40 nights of rain. The dove I sent out came back with an olive branch, I guess it’s safe to go out for my walk now. You can thank […]

Keeping Cool in the Heat

Give me the Al Gore environment award; I went the first day of the heat wave without using AC. My prewar building deserves some of the credit. I rushed to put the AC in the window and didn’t need it. By the time, the heat wave is over I’m sure I will. The building has […]

Internal Error 407

Mea Culpa, I did not go out either yesterday or today. Last night I could have seen the wonderful Miwa Gemini do a porch show but the combination of the trip to Brooklyn and the Mets playing a doubleheader talked me out of it. Today there was nothing on my Radar and Jacob deGrom pitching […]

Bank Error In Your Favor

This is the second day in a row I started writing before breakfast. Maybe I can get back in the habit. Since I started walking regularly people keep saying things like “I bet you are feeling better now.” The answer is no, I feel worse. One benefit of being sessile for a year is that […]

Crime and Punishment

I forgot to write yesterday, and I didn’t do anything interesting or even leave my apartment as penance I’m going to write the serious entry I had planned. As soon as it’s done I’ll go out to pick up prescriptions and take my Donut Walk™. I should have done both yesterday and lacked the will […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]

In Defense of Bias

Here’s a first, updating while listening to a Met game. They are beating the Cardinals 5-2 in the third. You read that right, the Mets have five runs in three innings. It  helps that they scored runs on a bases loaded hit-by-pitch and bases loaded walk. I didn’t leave the house today, that’s two days […]

Donut Walk

This is amazing, it’s 9:18 AM and I’m starting to write. I am a loyal DD fan, but Krispy Kreme has done wonders for my mental health. For the second day in a row, I walked to KK for my free doughnut. For the second day in a row, I did not keep falling asleep […]

Vaxed and Stimulated

I got my COVID-19 relief money! I’m careful to not call it stimulus, that’s not its purpose. It’s to give people money to live on to help make up for losing earnings opportunity because of the pandemic. The other proper term would be rescue money. Everyone calls it stimulus, so it’s not wrong, but it […]

Radio Days

I’ve been starting to write for the last two hours. Every time I start I put on some new music I received and then get distracted. Now that people are sending me music every day I’ll have to get better at my musical time management. I very much want to make a time signature joke […]
