I’ve become a waiter. I’m sitting here waiting for UPS to pick up my Amazon return, the one I waited all day yesterday for them to pick up, and I’m waiting for someone at the Bronx office of the NYC board of elections to talk to me about my missing absentee ballot. I’ve been waiting […]

I’m an idiot, have I mentioned that before? I’m also becoming sessile as I’ve grown accustomed to being held hostage by COVID-19. Those two combined yesterday. I’ve been meaning to make an expedition to one of two bagel stores within walking distance, 1.6 miles away, for well over a week. They aren’t that far from […]
I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]
Wow I’m writing less than 24 hours after my last post. I haven’t done that in a long time. Writing is good for me so when the muse strikes I’ll write. Can you tell I had therapy today? It was a bit frustrating. Our sessions have been cut to 30 minutes from 45. If you’ve […]
I’m trying something new today. I’m writing as I listen and watch Amy Speace stream a concert. Two songs in a row from Killer in Me including the title track. This is not going well. I spend all my time watching and not writing. So many of my friends are watching too. We are isolating […]
Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
I was in way too good a mood during therapy yesterday. I know why but that’s not the most useful state to be in for the therapy to be effective. It’s not that I don’t want to be in a good mood, it’s that I want to time them for when I’m not working on […]

Bye Bye Love
I traveled 43 miles by train yesterday. That seems short but it’s what the Google Maps summary says. I might be misinterpreting it. It was a peripatetic day. As most Fridays do it started with therapy, or more accurately getting to therapy. Yesterday that means walking half a mile and taking a bus half a […]
Time for me to stop procrastinating and write. After all these years of therapy and this still happens. It’s pretty deeply embedded in my psyche. Yesterday was Friday so I went to therapy. Sometimes things come together. Anything exciting happen there? Nothing? Really? Not that I can think of. I did do two things I […]
Occasionally there are benefits to being me. I got an email from WFUV on Thursday asking me if I wanted tickets to see Richard Thompson on Friday night. RT is tied with Rhiannon Giddens for my favorite of favorites and I was free so of course I said yes. I went with my WFUV volunteering […]
