Monday morning in New York
When I woke up on Monday morning at around 9:30, on our last full day in New York, I looked out the window to see what was happening down the avenue. There was a guy on the roof across the street. He didn't seem to be doing much. Loitering. Down below, traffic had resumed after being blocked all weekend. So many cabs in front of the Hilton over yonder.

More stuff from September…
...now that November is already here. Here's a beautiful moon photo from Sept. 8th. September 9th, the night before my surgery. It was a lovely night and the sun lit up the trees in a most...
Pretty near to Halloween…
Whew. End of October, that sure was quick. Last week I was cleared by my surgeon so I can lug 10-pound weights around, or any of our cats. Except Lemon Drop, who hates being picked up....
October
Spot, out for a regal walk at the end of August. I can't take him for a walk until I can lift over 10 lbs, because he's 17. Kevin did take him for one walk and I'm hoping that'll happen again soon....

Issues, issues, issues, always and perpetually issues. The thing is that I have no business whatsoever sitting down right now. I wrote that a while ago. Can't say for sure when it was, but it was...
Happy Sunday and YAAAAY Tim!

Not the greatest summer…
It hasn't been the worst summer, I supposed, but not so great. The good news is that I'm now covered by health insurance again, but it's a fairly rotten policy with an obscene deductible. Plus of...
More from way back in June, when I still had health insurance…
Yeah, I continue to count the days till I'm insured, and it's now THREE MORE DAYS including today. So hopefully things'll be OK. My new (Aetna) insurance through the Affordable Care Act is kind of...
Not the best summer ever…
First, June, my brother David died. June was kind of a rough month. Then, July...as I pulled into the Aldi parking lot on July 1st I got a call from one of my doctor's offices, saying they'd called...
