Finding it difficult to concentrate. Wonder why… Just started reading Revolution in the Head: The Beatles’ Records and the Sixties by the late Ian MacDonald. I may be raving about this book for some time. Finally received one of those infamous Obama-spams that are making their noxious, defamatory way across the net. I wish I […]

I was supposed to have written a working synopsis of CtM #7’s Doctor Fate chapter Saturday, but wound up spending the day in semi-stupor, probably drug-induced. It’s now 2:28 AM Sunday morning, and I need to sleep, so of course I’m feeling driven to compose — this drivel, not Doctor Fate, because Doctor Fate would […]

Another new look, with all the rough edges still evident. Back to the old look for a while. Managed to dodge the Kidney Lady, so we won’t even go into the details of that one. The past couple of days have been hugely exhausting, but developments on most fronts have been either neutral or positive, […]

Since being back, I’ve had […]

‘Nuff said for now. More to follow.

I’m still alive, but I’ve been moved to a room in the hospital where the wireless signal is too weak to access the Internet. The room does have a window and a real “Mountain View”, however, and the nurses are taking good care of me. They actually wheeled me back to my old haunts long […]

Dr. Tu, my pulmonologist, stopped by this morning to look me over and listen to my lungs. They sound better, he says, and the chest x-rays are showing some improvement. They also dialed me back from 60% to 50% pure oxygen through the mask this morning, with no ill effects so far. That, too, is […]
