December 3, 2017

Sunday, sunny. Blindingly so in my sunny sunroom, to the point of needing to pull down both the blind at my desk as well as the bamboo matchstick blinds along the entire window wall. I need awnings. We don’t need to be as uncomfortable as we often are, and yet we choose discomfort often enough, […]

December 2, 2017

I’m propped up in the hotel bed, not at a desk, after a pretty rough night with sore feet, multiple, repeated leg cramps, and a slight headache. The last is probably due to not sleeping well, recirculated and dehydrated (and dehydrating) room air (no venting windows, of course), and perhaps that final glass of wine […]

Well, this afternoon I will drive into Boston and check into a hotel, where I will meet W. when he gets off work, and where we’ll walk to the Prudential Center for a “Casino Night” party on the 50th floor. And I don’t know what I’m going to wear. I had this idea for a […]

December. How did that happen? It’s already nine o’clock, too. This morning I walked with W. in the crisp, rainwashed sunshine, sparkling, to the Depot. Crisp, still, although we’re expecting temperatures to reach the mid-50s today …which is pretty damn crazy. Took that walk because yesterday I didn’t get out of the house once: the […]

Yesterday, I had a conversation with a young person who’s somewhat perfectionistic and somewhat tending toward depression. She’s in love with a flawed character. I suppose that’s no surprise. It would be impossible, unless she had some kind of change of mind (like, a head transplant), for her to love a “simple” man. A simple […]

Almost December. A brief return to warmer temperatures as a rain storm approaches. Right now it’s “that rich windy weather” (Kate Bush) I so adore. I walked to the downtown Y this morning, walked home with damp hair, mid-way through climbing Prospect Hill I ditched the hat, figuratively speaking. Perhaps this is one “benefit” of […]

Oh my, tired I am. The sun is rising, and I feel slightly faint and already rushed. I remembered my dreams. Strange stuff about sleeping in temporary quarters, then being roused for some reason and going with a bunch of friends (women, girls, iirc) to a gallery-studio space, but not really admiring the work on […]

Today will be the last day of this little 5-day mini-vacation, which, since I cooked and cleaned each day save last night when we went out for an early dinner, consisted for me mainly in being able to sleep long into the morning. Admittedly, a two-edged sword. Tomorrow I’ll have to readjust… Taking the time […]

There’s a sad woman walking down the state route into town. She’s older, but seems to be intellectually disabled. One sad manifestation of her mental disabilities is that she frequently walks down the street shouting angrily, engaged in some “dialog” with person or persons unknown. Because she’s often dressed in an immature manner – in […]

The thing to remember, when it comes to the incident of the rusty nail, is that I had no words for blacking out or losing consciousness. Yet that is of course what happened, otherwise I’d have a narrative – a consciousness – of that strip of time between when I suddenly felt very afraid in […]
