Owl Watching Time

I just made an epic lion yawn. Let’s see if that kicks my brain into action. I was writing this in my head as I was experiencing it last night so this should be easy. Let’s see if it is. I won’t be an optimist or a pessimist but an empiricist. I’ll know soon enough. […]

Poutine On The Ritz

I once said to a friend, “I love food, food likes me.” In one sentence summing up my relationship to both food and my insecurity with people. I’m bringing this up because I’m going to once again write about food. On Monday I bought cheddar curds for the purpose of making poutine. Yesterday I went […]

Vetting Voting

Who took control of my brain? I got up early but I’m not sleepy. Most shockingly I remember what I’ve been planning on writing about, elections. I don’t mean the particular election coming up. I’m not talking about specific candidates. I want to discuss how we decide who wins. If there are only two candidates […]

Life, Socks, and Everything

I had a weird day yesterday, it disappeared into the aether. I woke up at 5 AM and went back to sleep. I woke up again around 7, turned on WFUV to listen to Thistle and Shamrock, and fell back asleep. Woke up a few other times and fell back to sleep. I finally got […]

Back to the Future

It’s a good thing when I don’t write about my health. Today I’m going to write about my health. I threw my back out on Friday. I wasn’t even sure I was using the term correctly until double checked with Google. It means I strained a muscle in my back. I did it just reaching […]

Close to the Center

Today is Mozart’s birthday so my writing soundtrack is Die Zauberflöte. I’m trying to be consistent and use the original language version of Opera titles. The world has not been consistent during my lifetime. Growing up it was always The Magic Flute but never The Rhine Gold. I still can’t say The Girl of the […]

Cooking Trump’s Goose

Will I end up writing about how I have nothing to write about? I’ll get the obvious out of the way first. I’m on a streak of perfectly cooked meals. On Tuesday night I made something super simple, a burger and fries. All burgers and fries are not created equal. I finally mastered air-fryer French […]

Whisperado

I have things to write about today including more on the crime of the century, my wallet being snatched. I got a call from the detective working my case; he asked me to come down to the station to view videotape. This was not the same station I went to the night of the crime, […]

Licensed to Drive

I’m writing early again. I seem to have fallen into a good habit for a change. I did work at this, but it has much to do with sleeping better. My digestive system and sleep apnea aren’t making trouble. It’s nice waking up and not wanting to go right back to sleep. I had trouble […]

Seventh Circle of Hell

I finally got myself together yesterday and went to the DMV to replace my driver’s license. Should I have given a trigger warning? The DMV is so much better than when I was young. I usually tell people that it’s well-run now and doesn’t deserve its reputation. Yesterday it worked very hard to shake that […]
