A good cry on the train

Yes

She probably thinks this song is about her.

Badabing!

"Clouds in her coiffure" is a keeper....

clever, clever, clever.

Very true.

Went to my doctor this morning for Take Two of my yearly physical. (Take One was disolved in tears.) I've lost four pounds since we last met two weeks ago, I said I was going to write a book called Super Fantastic Weight Loss through Severe Emotional Distress: A Primer. Doctor said most people in my circumstances eat like there is no tomorrow and gain like crazy. I said I had people on A2K watching every thing I eat. He made a note.

I said I find myself holding my arms in an odd way at street corners. The left hand grasps onto the right wrist while I wait for the light to change, it feels defensive, protective in some way.

The father will guide and guard his child.

I am not sleeping through the night. I have some music playing too loud in my head. I put on my zen player to the FM radio. I shut my eyes and seem never to doze off but when I do open my eyes, perhaps two hours have passed.

He made out a prescription. I told him I might not fill it, maybe just try not taking any liquids after seven pm. He said Hmm.

We talked some more. All my vitals are like great and good and terrific. There will be a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks, but only because it's about time for a geezer like me to get a re-look. (The last time the physician said my walls were as smooth as the Holland Tunnel's. Go ahead, try to get that image out of your head.)

Note on my door when I got home that there is package for me at the super's.
Yea!! Care package from out West.

You'll find it faster if in addition to the cartoonist's name you also click "computers" in the search. It's so obvious that he adores dogs from his way of portraying them - here's one who "....went through the computer's trash bin and ate all the files":

Joe - what kind of pills did he give you? I'm curious. Most importantly, did he seem worried about your weight loss? How about state of your morale?

This is the excellent question.

(Wouldn't that be a good title for something? The Excellent Question or, if the plot was set in the sixteenth century, ~A Most Excellent Question Poised ~.)

The answer, even after only these few days, or perhaps because it has been only these few days, is no.

I think there has been too much damage.

I would never know if, three days after returning, she wouldn't call the movers again.

Hey Joe (there's a nice place over on that wall for a new pic) Nation...

Good to see you posting... and hope you are managing a little sleep, even if it's broken sleep.

Hope you have good plans to keep you active... wear you out.. and maybe less push ups a?

Hugs to you

Please remind your doctor that you are not most people.

Please.

Doesn't he know who you are? You are JoeNation! able to write sentences that make people pass ham sarnies through their right nostrils.

Can most people do that? I think not.

Silly doctor.

Ham sarnies up my nose, yeah.

Good thing I wasn't eating just now, or I might just've done that! We're behind you 100%, Joe(gotawaywithwords)Nation

The better day to go to the beach was last Friday and that is when I went. Down to Penn Station, get the ticket, not ticketS which was weird, but okay and just as weird as making my own beach lunch of turkey and swiss sandwichs and nectarines and not even thinking about hitting the Burger King on the way to shore. The train lets you off four blocks from the water. I got there very early.


Wait..... this post was supposed to be about art.

How about this?



Before you vote, I must tell you I cannot have this work in my home because it on another wall.
This one:


Art is where you find it.

Joe(But only if you are looking for it)Nation

o. I forgot.
Even though I am just now finishing the citrus flavored nuts contained therein.

The Care Package arrived.

Details in the morning because I am eating the nuts accompanied by about three fingers of frozen Stolys.

Joe(there is fog here)Nation

Photography of a photographer in front of 'art'? I'm all for that. What the hell is art, anyway?

k - what's a Stoly??????????????????/

Joe, just to give more unsolicited advice than you really need ... in times of emotional stress you can be way short on magnesium and that will affect sleep patterns - as if the distress wasn't already doing that. Also, dare I suggest there are other releases for sexual tension than pushups?

Good stuff.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... k.... Joe (have a 4th finger of frozen Stoly's on me) Nation - and ENJOY....

hope you sleep.
