My eyes are perhaps worse than yesterday. I’m wearing my glasses while I type this. I called the ophthalmologist yesterday and he was supposed to get back to me today. He didn’t so I called again and was promised he would return my call. They did apologize. I seem to see in the distance just […]

Mea Culpa
I stayed in yesterday which means I have to fall back on my ideas bin. There is only one thing in the phone version and it’s difficult to write, it’s a Mea Culpa. I’ll bite the bullet and write about being wrong. But first of course, the minutiae of my life.
Today i deal with sleep issues, steak, people not taking responsibility, and people assigning responsibility when they shouldn’t.

I’m in a terrible sleep cycle. My circadian rhythm is shot. I’m up half the night and sleeping all morning. That is not conducive to blogging. I’m writing now at 2 PM but I should be out of the house. I just called Jane and told her that I’d be over when I’m done blogging. […]
I was on the train, homeward bound, when I last wrote. I made it the rest of the way without incident, i.e. something I can use as blogging material. When I got in an alien intelligence possessed my body and proceeded to unpack immediately. It even changed the cat litter before sitting down. This productive […]

It’s time to preach again; the subject of today’s sermon is fear. In the last week there was a massacre in a synagogue, two blacks killed in a store when the killer couldn’t get into the black church, and a spate of bombs sent to opponents of Trump through the mail. Our fight or flight […]
This is part of my evangelism. But I like to accentuate the positive and I’m more driven to tell My Gentle Readers, and anyone without the sound of my voice, about the great things in the world.
I hate the circadian cycle I’m suck in. it’s 3:46 PM and I’m just now starting to write. I found myself awake at 2:30 last night for no good reason. I woke up at 6:30, went to the bathroom and back to bed. My alarm woke me at 8:30, I got out of bed, but […]
Last night I went to the Met game. … I said before that Alan’s mind works differently than mine. That helped shape the rest of what I’m going to write about, the way I understand, and have always understood baseball.
