Starting Without the Big Mo Blues Show Today!
Well, I’ve been waiting all morning for the Big Mo Pod Show and it usually shows up long before now on Saturday morning. In spite of this, Big Mo did say on the blues show last night that the first two songs on the show would be on the pod show and I know what…

How Will I Get to Heaven? Rounding at Iowa Podcast: End of life Doulas
I listened to the Rounding@Iowa podcast “End-of-Life Doulas” twice because I’m at that difficult age when I think about my personal death. I don’t think about it at great length, mind you, but when I think about it, I feel afraid. Early mornings tend to be the time I wonder how much time now until…?…

Meet Mr. Slim Indigo!
Just like a few days ago, yesterday evening while we were playing cribbage, Sena spied a slim indigo bunting. This one flew right up to our window! It was probably not the same one we first saw. That guy was buff, likely because he’d been branch pressing in the gym. This character was slim and…

More Mall Walking for Everyone!
I don’t get out often to the mall to do mall walking, but I did today. I put on a little over 2.5 miles on my step counter. Mall walking is OK for exercise although I have to drive over there. Right next door to the entrance to the mall is the outdoor entrance to…

Big Mo Pod Show: Music of the People
I caught the Big Mo Pod Show today, “Music of the People” and of course, I listened to his Friday Blues show last night. Big Mo is a bottomless pit of blues music knowledge (as well as other genres) and that takes me back to my wasted youth when I had a short conversation with…

It helps to make believe we’re in charge. It’s still spring and flowers are still blooming and birds are still nesting and nurturing new life. There are…

Big Mo Pod Show “BluesMore” Today
So, the Big Mo Pod Show was on just now and I listened to it because I heard the Big Mo Blues Show last night. I just want to mention that I heard Big Mo do an extended version of his comedy bit on Mayree’s hand-battered catfish last night too. I never know when he’s…

The Wild West Sandbox of AI Enhancement in Psychiatry!
I always find Dr. Moffic’s articles in Psychiatric Times thought-provoking and his latest essay, “Enhancement Psychiatry” is fascinating, especially the part about Artificial Intelligence (AI). I liked the link to the video of Dr. John Luo’s take on AI in psychiatry. That was fascinating. I have my own concerns about AI and dabbled with “talking”…

Slow Down, Tithonus
What I sometimes don’t like about the X-Files episodes were the esoteric titles. One of them was “Tithonus.” I watched it again last night. It’s about a police photographer named Fellig who claimed to be about 150 years old because he cheated death sometime during the days of Yellow Fever in the U.S. in the…

Reasons to Be Proud and Hopeful for the Future
As the month of May Mental Health Awareness draws to a close, I reflect a little on the Make It OK calendar items that are salient for me: 3 things I’ve done that I’m most proud of and 3 reasons I’m hopeful for the future. I’ll keep it short. One thing I’m most proud of…
