Monday was my birthday. It was also Martin Luther King Day
so the Barnicle in the office had a day off. A birthday present in itself. I decided to go to a movie and thus went to the movie complex in Randolph. Monday is usually a great day to go to the movies because nobody goes and so the viewer can have the theater to himself. Today was different. Since it...

The tip of my cane wore out and so when I was returning to my
apartment building with my Christmas shopping. The wooden tip of my cane slipped on the shiny floor of my building's lobby so the weight of the Christmas shopping wasn't very heavy but enough to throw me off balance and I went sprawling on the floor. I fell in front of Big Fat Pete and all his...

I went to Quincy today to replace the rubber tip of my cane
without which the walker does not have much traction. I get my tips at a medical supply store on Parkingway, parallel to Hancock St. which I discovered was closed off for their annual summer festival where one can usually get at least one or two T-shirts if nothing else. After I parked my car and...

I went to town to consult with an angency that
helps people with mental disabilities get a job. On the way into town, I had to make up for a late start but the MTA was terrific in providing good connections so I was hardly late. I almost fell into the lap of the driver of the trolley that brought me to Government Center. A man on the train was...

Yesterday, I went to Castle Island where I sat on a wall
and looked at people walking around and swimming in the water. Then I had to go shopping for food. At least I sat in the sun for almost an hour.

I started a job the night before last. My new job is to run a Keno machine
at a local bar. This should be up my alley because I have worked at a few gas stations and am accustomed to handling cash. I have been leading an insular existence lately and the new job should at least give me exposure to people. I am sort of worried about how my OCD will flare up in this...

Yesterday, I had to get out of the house. I ended up going to
the Randolph Cinema to see Sin City. This was an impressive film that featured Bruce Willis among others and I liked it but I did not consult the schedule before I left, so I supposedly had to wait two hours before the next scheduled showing. I decided to watch the movie in the screening room in...

Yesterday, I saw Million Dollar Baby just to get out of the house.
I had been stuck in the house for the day before because of the tough weather and so was chomping at the bit to get out. From AAA, I also had bought four tickets to movies at $6.00 a ticket so that was cheaper than what the movies charge at about $6.75 a ticket for matinees and seniors. I am...

I saw the Aviator last night and have a huge sympathy
for Howard Hughes in his struggle with OCD which subjected him to insanity and the ridiucle of the nation. Hughes probably had the mental disorder for his whole life, but it did not snap into fruition until later. OCD is a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes its victim to form an obsession...

Last night, I was watching SWAT the movie about
a SWAT team transporting a hot criminal to his retirement home in the penetentiary when the caravan of police cars carrying the prisoner was ambushed by of all people, a guy limping behind a shopping cart. This limping guy suddenly sheds the blanket covering him and starts firing at the cops with a...
