I just heard from Mo that my dad has congestive heart failure. I knew he had gone to the hospital the other day with supposed pneumonia and was kept for observation. We had been trying to get through to them to confirm the diagnosis but until this morning had not been successful. This news is …
Well the weirdest thing happened to me on leaving work today, I walked out into the sun and ran into Ivan. That wasn’t the strange thing, we began chatting and I actually felt happy. Go figure. I do recall feeling up before meds (I’m going to call it bm) but this was almost surreal, and …
Totally unrelated to my “condition” but….. My back/legs are exhibiting signs that they may revolt on me. Previous visits to both an RMT and physio have led me to think the issue may be in my back, specifically in the L2L3 region where the nerves exit my spine. I’m not in as much discomfort as …
If I really follow the suggestions of G as we discussed yesterday I will need to be more open, more transparent with my feelings as expressed here. As I mentioned to her that is/will be difficult for me to do, and not that I can’t do it but it will be an openness that I …

Using skidaddle, skidaddy and some variations showed many blogs using that name, covering a multiple number of topics, many travel, one on a gay gentleman’s sadness and loneliness. “Journey through Depression” also brought up a number of …
