Is this an idiot story? This morning after breakfast I started feeling the bloat of a Crohn’s attack coming on. Then it got better. Then ate way too many sweets. Now my tummy feels bloated again. Yes, that counts as an idiot story. I hope I feel up to eating dinner later. I ate breakfast […]
I went on an expedition yesterday, a quest in search of beef gravy to make poutine. That meant heading to Stop & Shop a few miles away. On the way I finished my facemask survey. After observing 247 people the results are 62.4% of men wore masks and 61.2% of the women. We can reject […]

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’m still working on my making my phone mine. I just add the MTA app. I’m not using that now but someday I’ll need to buy tickets again. I love that I could sign in with my fingerprint. I didn’t have to remember my password. That’s how everything should be done, biometrics. Much better than […]

Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]
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 […]
So much for posting in the morning. Can I use the excuse that I had therapy at 11 AM? I could. It’s true that I did. What is not demonstrated is that I would have if I hadn’t had therapy. If everyone understood that without effort the world would be a better place. Does that […]
I have to get out of this blogging every other day routine. I need to get out of the blogging late routine. That’s an isolation goal. Let’s see if I can succeed. Blame and problems or delays in this entry on Laurie MacAllister and Ellis Paul who are streaming live as I write this. Now […]
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. Whether or not the curse comes from Wuhan or not I have interesting things to write about today. Yesterday I was trying to post to Instagram. I was […]
