Chart

....screw this prosaic elegaic crap, none of us have any time for it in our busy lives anyway, so I'm just gonna give youse a chart of how I'm doing, plus or minus rating....


'So, Mike....'

'ARE YOU OK?'

+

'SLEEPING?'

-

...not much lately, but that seems to be more okay as I get older

'EATING?'

-

...two-minute dinners just aren't doing it for me anymore so I'm branching out into real cooking, but it's tricky for one - recipe suggestions anyone?

'WORKING?'

+++

...constant rotation between teaching, shift work and gigging - have you ever stepped back while reading an intense novel to marvel at the river of words before you? I had this experience with 'A Hundred Years of Solitude'.....anyway, I was scribbling away in my diary the other day and did the same thing....

HANGING/PARTYING?

-

...reasonably....the odd coffee or drink with friends is countered with days of hermitude (is that a word?)....

'LOVE LIFE?'

---

...non-existent, may have to do something about this....
