Will be a Golf Nomad again starting next Sunday. First stop Seoul and finishing either Singapore or Bali around March-Apl 24 (assuming I don’t run out of fund’s first). Will most likely be off the grid but will try to drop in on occasion. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and everything else in between. 👍👋👋 Enjoy and take care, Ted!

Bon voyage, Ted!
I got up feeling lightheaded. So far, today, I've done a lot of sitting down.

Wife comes back from grocery shopping, asks why are so many men grocery shopping? I say it’s the feminization of the species. She looks stunned, I say you have to remember the rule, Big hat, no cattle, little hat lots of cattle, but tight with their money, no hat, he’s gonna hit you for a loan, she walks away shaking her head, I don’t grocery shop! I know i have a big hat, and no cattle!

Russ, when you're not up and posting before I go to bed, it throws me off. Work on that.

Russ, when you're not up and posting before I go to bed, it throws me off. Work on that. I'm trying to manage my wonky sleep schedule. If I take a long nap during the day, I'm not tired enough to sleep longer at night and end up being awake around four in the morning, hence the very early posts.

That's because it's biological. It's called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. There's another one called Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder where people fall asleep at like 4 in the afternoon and wake up at midnight ready to go. They've identified the gene for that one, but last I heard they still hadn't for DSPD.

If I take a long nap during the day, I'm not tired enough to sleep longer at night and end up being awake around four in the morning, hence the very early posts. I have a similar sleep pattern. About three to four hours and then awake for two hours or so and then back for another three to four hours of sleep. Common enough problem. There is even a novel written about it, Second Sleep by the British author Robert Harris. Seems this pattern has been experienced by many for centuries. Makes for a long night.

Maybe a DNA holdover from way back when sleeping too long might give advantages to oh-so-many dangers.

We are well into the ‘transition’— the falling-away of summer into a tentative fall that isn’t yet sure of itself. Cooler days, particularly in the morning, but then hot again in the afternoon. The cast of light is changing, too, creating a sense of difference that is perceptible but not yet dramatic. This is a kind of punctuation mark. Not quite yet a full-stop, more of a semi-colon.

O, woe. My GP of 20 years is moving into a new executive role and I have to find a new one. Might go up to the rez and find a medicine man. Maybe pay him in tobacco.

My PCP retired a couple of years ago when COVID hit. Changing doctors is never a good time. My new one is younger than me, though, so he ought to outlast me.
After a loooong week at work, despite the Monday off, they tried to reach me this morning, starting around 7am. Flurry of texts that went on for a while. I finally rolled over and turned the dang ringer off. Screw that.

Back at home escaping the afternoon heat with a cup of coffee. The nurse at the podiatrist office said she was going to apply for bandages for wound care and two giant boxes of supplies showed up, saving me hundreds of dollars. Spent the morning with my daughter buying stuff for the granddaughter set to arrive in mid November. We made a pair her huge and pregnant and me with my walker I think the wife was jealous of me picking out more stuff that my daughter liked instead of her.

Still sharp but I need to plan for the future. I want one who is significantly younger than I am.

My GP is a little younger than me, but all my other specialists are pretty young and excellent doctors.

Everybody I deal with is younger than me. (That should be “younger than I” but I don’t wanna confuse or offend anybody.)

Not that it matters, except to some for whom it is a kind of fetish, but May 1939, Don. Pre-war issue! Except for the experience it offers and the trials it can bring, age is just another number.
