Wrong-Way Horvendile

Good morning, well good afternoon, would you believe good evening? I’m writing this only 12 hours late, it’s 9:33 PM. Remember the days I would bang out an entry every day before noon. There were semesters I banged them out before 8 AM. COVID-19 has a strange affect on time. It must have to do […]

Thank You to Mitchell & Trask

I’m back to the blahs. I’m not as bad as I was on Thursday but I’m not right either. I was proactive yesterday and forced myself to take a walk. It was a beautiful day again and I know that helps. Unfortunately, the GPS on my phone got turned off so I don’t know how […]

Wile E. Coyote – Genius

Let’s see if I can write this before I eat breakfast, which should be around  noon. Last I told you I was going to go out and take a walk. I went into my bedroom to change into outdoor clothes, saw my bed, lay down, and took a nap. On the one hand, I needed […]

What Everybody Knows Part:2

A miracle, I got myself to write in the morning. I’m always supposed to write in the morning. Not only that but I already created the Facebook event for the next John Platt’s On Your Radar and put away the dishes from the drying rack. I’m all sorts of productive today and this is before […]

Everybody Knows Part 1

I have done nothing interesting since I last blogged. Not quite true as I had poutine for dinner and poutine is always interesting. I wasn’t planning on it, but the chicken hadn’t defrosted, and I don’t have defrost a potato. Can you eat a potato after it’s been frozen? I think the protagonist of The […]

Theory of Mind Failure

I’ve been bad about writing. I’ll make up for now. I’m starting to write while I’m listening to Suzie Vinnick. That’s tough because I like watching Suzie and I like heckling via chat. I have no idea why any musician puts up with me. I really do know, it’s because I make it clear that […]

It’s a Shame

I didn’t write yesterday; that always makes me feel bad. Blogger is part of my self-image. Before I was a blogger I was a thinker. Blogging is just writing down my thoughts. The problem comes when I don’t want to share my thoughts. I’ve fallen back into my “Why can’t people learn to think!” mode. […]

The Seamstress and the Tailor

Good news, I woke up this morning feeling much better. There’s always some residual discomfort after an obstruction but that’s minor. I’ve been able to eat normally today. Breakfast was scrappleeggsandcheese on pita. I put up a cold brew on Sunday when this was just starting. I kept it brewing until this morning. It tasted […]

Idiot Savant

I tell many idiot stories but here’s one with a twist, an idiot story that turns into a genius story. Like everyone else I’ve been wearing nothing but pants with elastics waistbands and drawstrings. As I was getting out of a pair I somehow managed to get one end of the drawstring stuck in my […]

I went on an expedition today, two whole blocks to the supermarket because I was out of eggs. I wore the band new mask that my roommate made me. This is how I look, like some sort of crazed criminal. I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses so I couldn’t see how I looked. It was […]
