A scabby jeans pocket, critical thinkers gone missing, lunch w/Susan, & problematic dialogue…

~Tuesday~  I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry, and picked up the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus at about 8:00. Once again, the bus filled up within the first two or three stops, which meant that soon thereafter there were rear ends about my face. I couldn’t help thinking that the back pocket (or … Read more

On a sh*t day, you can clear forever; MoviPrep w/o the popcorn; & Coffee, soda or beef broth?

~Monday~  It was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which for state employees means a holiday. I slept in this morning, until 11:00 or 11:30. That Dulcolax “did its thing” last night before bed, and I started off the day well on my way to an “emptiness” I don’t want to feel again for at least … Read more
