59. A lot of the day-to-day stuff is gone.

Sat Nov 5, 2016, 12:40 AM

Nov 2016

The first three years I was in agony, and that tends to blur the mind. A lot of the chronology is simply not there any more. Once in a while I flash on something that had gone away, but the details are missing.

Such is life when you're flat on your back and stoned to the gills on pain pills 24 hours a day.

I may one day attempt to write about the personal philosophy I've developed over my lifetime. But OTOH who would want to read it?
