Slept in my Pink Floyd shirt and woke up on the dark side the moon, but thankfully not on Mars.

Slept in my Bare Naked Ladies shirt; so ironic.

Took my walker-using, ninety-year-old mom to the Social Security office two weeks ago to update data entry errors made during the previous four visits following my dad's death. Hoping she doesn't have to make a sixth trip. Stressful for her.

Like this crash, 1929 wasn't one day. Had ups &downs, two bank bailouts, reprieves, recovery cycling months before & after Oct 1929. This crash will run like every crash. Ups & downs attract suckers& life savings& shuttered business. Runaway stagflation w/neg output is final Catch 22 coffin nail.

Since I’m retired…
-Drank coffee slowly
-Sat on the porch and judged the neighbors
-Considered doing something productive, then laughed, took another sip of coffee
-Rescheduled a dental cleaning for *no reason at all*
-Had an internal debate about whether 3 p.m. is too early for pajamas (it’s not)

New meaning to "dead man walking." Incredible!
