"You're Just A Character in Your Own Novel"
I'm feeling a little funky this morning. Woke up with a sore throat. I'm sneezing. Runny nose. I lie in bed and think. What did I do? I swim up through the murk of unconsciousness hoping to break...

Maybe Something Will Happen
Nada y pues nada. Campari, soda, and lime over ice. The heat before the storm. Mother made me a salad of spring mix, red onion, halved cherry tomatoes and grapes. I added avocado, kosher salt,...

Another Day
Two days ago, I felt like death was overtaking me. Yesterday, I felt I had put a tiny bit of distance between us. Today, so far, at least, I feel about like I usually do, just beaten and broken and...

δεν έγινε τίποτα
Έγινε τίποτα χθες; Δεν μπορώ να θυμηθώ κάτι να συνέβη χθες. Ήταν μια καταστροφική μέρα για τους δημοκράτες, φυσικά, και μια καλή μέρα για το "Planet 2". Το έχω ξαναπεί - Ο Τραμπ είναι ο Τζόκερ. Δεν θα...

This Way to the Egress
"Stop me if I've told you this one before.""Stop?"Life is often repetitious. The longer you live, the more reps you've done. Eventually, all you can do is repeat yourself, I think, unless something...

Roller Coaster

Everything We've Known Is Wrong
The a.c. guys finished up in the afternoon. Things went sideways for awhile. Something else was broken that they weren't allowed to touch. They were duct work techs, not a.c., so I had to call the...

Happy Birthday Boys

Truth, Justice, and the American Way
I can't wake up this morning. One Advil PM and a Tylenol put me into a coma. I've become too dependent on sleep aids. I need to quit cold turkey. Quit everything, really. I should go on a three...

Moan
Nurse. . . Oh NurseIt was 66 degrees at 5:45. That's when I got up. This is the first night in the 60s here since I don't know when. It is the first day of autumn, too, the equinox, a day of equal...

Faux-Autumn Day
The first day of fall was lovely here. It often is. And it never lasts. It is a faux-fall that fools us for awhile, but those of us who have lived here long know that fall weather is still far away....

Live or Die

Better Things
One doesn't change one's cafe, does one? That idea is voiced by Oiseau in "The Moderns." Seems right. But I am moving about now. . . more. . . and decided to go for tea at a tea room across town. It...
