Dispelling the Gloom October 26, 2020
Dispelling the Gloom A grim and gloomy start to this morning, and I'm not sure why. Last night's sleep was about average: 3 ½ hr. 1st sleep segment, followed by 45 min. insomnia break, then another sleep segment of a little more than three hours, finally waking ½ hour before my first alarm. That should […]
Full-Radio Saturday October 24, 2020
Full-Radio Saturday It's good to hear The National Anthem played by a college band before a football game. Of course it was done virtually, and I'm following the game over the radio so I don't have to see anyone disrespecting. Still, it's nice to hear. Ohio State kicks off, Nebraska has the ball, and the […]
Now... and Then October 23, 2020
Now... and Then NOW: This morning I registered for the Catholic Identity Conference 2020 which is taking place this weekend. The event is being live-streamed and I'll be watching many of the speakers as they give their presentations. The whole thing is being recorded so those parts I miss live I'll be able to catch […]
Mystery solved! October 22, 2020
Mystery solved! When I took my morning health metrics today, as I do every day, I was curious about my blood pressure reading. It was higher than normal. Not scary high, mind you, but significantly up from my norm. And I couldn't understand why that should be. Now I wonder no longer. When I took […]
OMG! Where did my morning go? October 19, 2020
OMG! Where did my morning go? This is what happens when you take a really good mid-morning nap. You fix a good breakfast, see the wife off to work, sit back in the recliner to catch some favorite news broadcasts, and... you open your eyes to discover it's almost Noon already! There's not as much […]

Sunday morning:I do miss attending Sunday Mass, but I simply refuse to attend under the ridiculous masking and social distancing mandates and other liturgical restrictions we have here. It is more important that I stay healthy. And staying healthy, for me, requires breathing freely. It also means avoiding stupid people and stupid situations as much […]

Saturday morning:It was a late start this morning because of massive insomnia last night. The first 3-hour sleep segment was followed by a 4-hour insomnia break. A 2nd 3-hour sleep segment ended my night. I can function with six hours of sleep, but some nap time will probably be on my agenda later today.The morning's […]

Friday morning:I woke easily (though not terribly quickly) from a pretty good sleep. The morning clumsiness is still with me as I type this, three hours after waking, but I trust that will fade away in due time. And though I'm still waiting for the mental acuity to reach a good level, I'm happy to […]

Thursday morning:I was surprised when I woke this morning to see how long I'd actually slept. Nine hours with only one brief break. There was a dream I woke with but it faded quickly, must have been of no consequence. Morning health metrics were mixed: body weight was fine but the BP was a little high. […]

Wednesday morning:The dream from which I woke this morning was another odd one, but it wasn't particularly unpleasant. May have been to you, but it wasn't to me. It involved murdering houseflies Last night's sleep itself was a good one. It brought me nearly 7 hours with one short break in the middle, and had […]
