About Me
I have opposable thumbs, which, along with my fingers, I use very cleverly while playing the piano. I am an alcoholic and a drug addict, although I have not engaged in any form of recreational chemistry since 1989, but once. That last time was very much on purpose, and un-regretted. I am gay, and of course, an atheist. I am a musician, currently and chronically underemployed. I am also very interested in genealogy, and generally in things dead. I enjoy cemeteries, music of past generations, history, some literature. I gravitate toward mystery novels far more easily than science fiction, although I suppose I am not beyond the occasional foray into the other side of that particular divide on occasion.

Well, it's been a few months. I never have been good with journals or blogs. 

Still, I suppose I should make some sort of attempt at justifying my presence here, so I will write something, but the short version. In October, I got sick with a staph infection that necessitated the replacement of my mechanical aortic valve, among other things. I spent more than two months in a hospital far away from family and friends, one of them completely sedated. Now I am stuck at a…

She of the Salt Lamp

Posted on August 13, 2010 at 7:09pm 0 Comments

Two of my sisters, including she of the Salt Lamp, went on a retreat to a convent in a resort town nearby. One of the two is a true believer - she once told me that she believed in revelation - and the other is Salt Lamp (Sally, for short.)

Returning from her retreat, Sally showed me some books she bought at the convent gift shop. (Yes, that is what I said.) She mentioned that some of them are books that she might use to give at christmas time, and she also mentioned that she was…

Salt lamps...

Posted on August 5, 2010 at 8:14am 0 Comments

I am temporarily staying in the home of my sister and brother in law, and I don't suppose I really need to tell anyone that I am most unhappy about it.

There was a time in my life when the presence, at bedside, of this thing called a "salt lamp" would have elicited no more than a simple chuckle and maybe some gentle mockery. I can't say where she got the thing or how much money she wasted on it, but the fact that she left a copy of the marketing material there for me to read indicates…

This week's plans

Posted on March 17, 2010 at 9:06am 0 Comments

I get my car back today, then go to lab to have blood drawn... then to general practitioner's.

Tomorrow, 8:30 a.m. appointment with cardiologist.

Next day, wound surgeon.

If all goes well, and I fell up to it, then next week I will start subbing.
