Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

I have old business I forgot to write about. First, I got my stimulus direct deposit! Not only that but I got a personal letter from some guy whose handwriting was illegible but was ostensibly Donald Trump.

There is an old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” I wonder if that’s apocryphal and someone just ascribed it to the Chinese for effect.

I’m having more social contact while social distancing than I did antepandemic. It’s not even close. I said I was going to call someone every day but now I’m getting phone calls too. I had phone therapy yesterday afternoon. I told my therapist that she counted as that day’s phone call. Shortly after we hung […]

Beware of False Prophets
I left the house yesterday; I walked all of two blocks to get eggs. As soon as I left the apartment I put my gloves on and removed them as soon as I got home. I still washed my hands. I wiped down the egg carton with antiseptic. We are being very careful in this […]
