  • 36 days

    So, I think, somewhere in the neighborhood of 36 days I will be in Florida for 60. This will be the longest visit to Florida since my Indiana return by some two weeks and change. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit apprehensive. Florida holds some painful and shaming memories for me.  Read more

  • This is Halloween!

    Can that sentence even be used without evoking a Tim Burton copyright? The Nightmare Before Christmas is practically woven into our culture at this point. Well, today is Halloween. Disclaimer:  In no way is the title of this blog used in conjuncture with Tim Burton’s properties in any way, shape, or form. Since mom and Read more

  • Scary

    I had a little epiphany when I was in the shower last night. If you’re not sure what epiphany means, google it.  It’s not what you think, dirty bird. Anyway, maybe the reason why conventional Hollywood doesn’t provide scares any more is that I’m scarred. Not to brag or anything, think about it.   I went Read more

  • Checking in

    Well… hi. I hope everyone’s doing okay. I’m all right. Believe it or not, I actually voted last Wednesday.   I hang around downtown an embarrassingly amount of time, so I walked myself right into the courthouse and did it….  setting off the metal detector of course. Which, I find amusing.  I set off metal detectors Read more

  • Today..

    Today, I went to see Doc S. She’s the one that prescribes me my mind-altering anti-depressants and sleeping pills. The tall, thin, short-haired blonde and I usually get long.  We certainly don’t agree, but she’s pretty blunt and to the point.   Ever minute of my half an hour session matters. So much so, I tend Read more

  • Mouse Quiet

    I think there’s something going on with me. Well, there always seems to be something going on, but I mean really going on. I haven’t wanted to write, play games, go outside… despite this being my second favorite time of the year. I don’t want to go to the doctor, take my meds, or watch Read more

  • It’s quiet

    It’s really kind of a sleepy Saturday. Brother and sister are at work.   Mom and Bill are gone for some reason that I don’t really care about. The term has started and everyone is passing, oddly enough.   I think it took me about ten minutes to catch up grading. There’s nothing really going on outside Read more

  • Grilled Cheese Rambling

    I used to really like grilled cheese – back in the day before saturated fat and carbohydrates existed.  I liked it with just a little butter on both sides, toast the bread in the skillet until the full fat Kraft cheese became really melty, and maybe a little scorched.  I think a little burning gave Read more

  • Reflection

    Yeah, I know I didn’t post anything yesterday. I had it in my mind to do so, but I wrote another letter to the editor to the local paper. (In short – dead end street.   Train gets stuck.  Everyone can die.   See previous posts.) My first editorial letter was in June.  Last weekend,  my sister Read more

  • How my day went (8/26)

    It’s kind of odd feeling that the day is pretty much done at 3pm. Technically, if we’re going with that mind frame, the day was over around 1pm when I came in and took a brief nap. It’s starting to feel like I’m skipping over the nights.    It’s probably been a week of nights where Read more
