Sorry, folks, I just haven’t got much to say about anything these days — kind of in emotional hangover period after what was a pretty wild ride for three weeks, and I’m taking a little ‘who am I’ self-discovery time, during which writing’s just not working. I’m good, I just don’t feel like appeasing an [...]

It’s cold out there today. It’s cold out there every day these days.
It’s a lazy Monday off for me. I never work Monday, and this one is particularly well-timed. It’s been snowing now for almost 48 hours. Temperatures have plumetted. Buses are going off the roads, cabbies are stuck in drifts. Rivers are bubbling with [...]

My hair has jumped the shark.
I knew it was coming. I knew I was approaching the no-go zone, that point at which it becomes unkempt, unsightly, and, yes, even unhip.
I thought I’d heard a giant splat on Monday. It must have been my hair belly-flopping in the pool of cool. Done, man. Done like dinner.
This [...]

Life has thrown me yet another hurdle, and I’m presently percolating, just taking it in and figuring out my next step. Despite all the stuff that’s going down, I’m much more even-keeled than I’ve been in a year or two. I’m sure it’s being off the pill that’s making me better able to process events. [...]

I have had a hell of a couple of weeks, and I’m glad things are going much better. My dad should still be in the hospital this coming week, but he’ll be home in the next 10 days or so.
I’m giving myself a slack weekend, and then I’ll be getting cracking, back to work on [...]

Wow. Ever notice after a great period of stress, that when you’re finally able to relax, you’re just wiped right out? I am! I’m e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d. Whew!
But that’s because I know I don’t need to worry about Pops anymore. Saw him yesterday and the dude looks 15 years younger! His hair’s gone all grey now, which [...]

Hi there, my good people.
I’m hunkering down for a storm that’s just now beginning to rage, and rage it will. Winds shall break 120 km/hr tonight. I think that’s 85 miles, for you metrically-challenged Americans.
It’s stormy nights like this that I enjoy not being single. Which I’m not. I’m single, not not single. Still. [...]

(FYI: My father’s taken a turn for the worse. Intensive care, life support. The news looks bad. I don’t know if he’ll make it through the next few days. This blog is not a priority, but it can be cathartic. I don’t suspect I’ll be a barrell of laughs for a bit.)

My religion is well knownto those who know me.I believe in bodies,arms entangling and untangling.I believe, and I know it to be so,that there are so manycurves and hollowsin a single bodythat none of uscan come to know them allwithin a single lifetime.I believe in one [...]

As is usually the case when life throws me a curveball, I’ve been taking some time to reflect on things this morning. I’ll be seeing my father on Sunday and I’m hoping things will clear up sufficiently that he doesn’t need to lose his leg to this. He needs a good scare to help him [...]

I’ve got the mid-week blues. Waking up alone is so much colder in the winter. In the summer, it’s fine. Y’know, it’s hot, you’re sweaty anyhow. A little space doesn’t hurt, right? In the winter, it’s freezing out, and if you’ve got hardwood floors like I do, you know the moment your feet hit the [...]
