Sometimes You Just Do the Wrong Thing
I watched the first episode of "Californication" last night. I've seen the series before, but I just thought I'd watch the first one again. The first season of the series was on the edge. Each...

Never the Twain Shall Meet
Yesterday was one of those days when, if times were normal, I would have gone to brunch and gotten a spicy breakfast and a large supreme Bloody Mary or two. My body was shot, and that is exactly what...

Good Morning, Handsome
I wake and look at the clock. It is an old clock radio, one of those rectangular plastic things with a faux-wood finish, buttons you push in different combinations to set the time or the alarm, a.m....

Palpable
The factory kicks off its new year today. It is the first time in over forty years that they are doing it without me. It is the first time in nearly twenty that I haven't been the head of my...

CRCNCS
I have nothing significant to tell today, nothing of interest or consequence, yet I write hoping that there might be word magic that brings to light some meaning. It is why I write, really, to...

Just When You Think
I have nothing today. Nothing. I keep trying, but I am a bb rolling around in a box. I try to break patterns, both physical and mental, but the box is empty no matter which way I roll. I have no...

Remembering Nessie
Everyone has gotten really good at taking pictures of buildings. All over the internet, I see photos that make my jaw drop--all unpopulated. Well, mostly. I am not the only one who has been walking...

World of Woe
I'm in the world of tech woe. A ton of it. Apparently, I have picked up some malware on my computer. That is what I've been able to glean, anyway, from perusing the internet. It began when my...

My Shit's Fucked Up
Yesterday was a time of fruitless frustrations and irritation. It is a good thing I have all the time in the world to waste. In the morning when I got on my computer, there was a blip in my internet...

Incremental
I dived into my computer woes yesterday once again. I read some articles online and started poking around in my computer preferences, my Safari and Chrome preferences, and finally, after making many...

Gin and Xanax and the Southern Way
I cannot see out of the windows this morning. Condensation. As my art/travel friend says, it is too hot to do anything after 9:30 a.m. and too humid to do anything before. It is true. We are in the...

I Guess I'm Not All Here Yet
Holy smokes--I slept forever. I've been very incremental and didn't drink much again last night. I was just shy of "enough." Then I nibbled on a brownie before bed. I couldn't get up until the sun...

Self Defense, Manslaughter, and Murder
I was sitting with my mother yesterday as I do every day now. We were listening to the radio. I have gotten her to listen to the local college jazz station which is often pretty good. At least she...

Will He Ever Post Pictures Like That Again?
I am stuck. At the turn of the year, my life changed dramatically, but I have not been able to begin anything anew. Seven, eight months have passed, and I'm still in the same t-shirt and shorts. I'm...

Freedoms Of and From
On the other hand, it is good that I live alone. I was foolish to think that I would simply heal up and get on with things after my accident. We dealt with all the obvious damage to my lung and...

Holed Up
I haven't moved for two days. I haven't even gone to see my mother. I've made a couple forays to the grocery store, the camera store, the liquor store, but other than that, I've settled in....

Hoping It Will Pass
I took this photograph a few months ago. Is that right? Has it been going on that long? The shop has subsequently gone out of business. I'm not sure if putting the sign with the pig hurt or helped...

The Single Drink Theory
The film I got back from the Hasselblad was o.k. That means the second back I have for the camera is defective. That's kind of good news. The camera is fine. If I want to buy another back, though,...

Pipe Dream
Time of Covid? How many times has Q gone on vacation since March? By my count, it is at least ten. Yet he whines and cries about being isolated like he really is. He eats out, takes his kid to...

Power Cosmic and Love Supreme
Here's the rotting bench to which I referred in yesterday's post. Can't compete with photos of sexy ex-wives and happy children. Why do I bother? For that matter, why am I still writing this blog?...
