A humble narrator is getting close to recovery from the broken ankle at this point. I’ve taken multiple heel to toe strides wearing just a normal shoe by this stage of the ‘PT’ process. I should be able to resume a somewhat normal, albeit hobbled, existence soon.
On November 28th in 2017, ‘reconised from’ was published, and the post discusses a few obscure historical tidbits about LIC and the East River.

Overall, the fall off from unrelenting 24/7 agony has been nice. It’s important to keep on reminding myself to ‘don’t do that, not yet.’ Take it slow, move with purpose, don’t get ahead of yourself and ignore distractions. No multi tasking. One thing at a time.
2018’s ‘choking gas’ gets high over LIC.

Saying that, I’m absolutely dying to get out and do some creative work again. So many things to see and learn about, and I’m stuck sitting on my butt waiting for the ankle to heal. You can’t win, I say.
These archive posts are reaching into Newtown Pentacle’s backups, and are pulling posts that went public on this date, in their respective years, going back to 2009. This practice will continue until I’m back on both feet full time, and new photos and stories can be gathered. For anyone who hasn’t heard the news, I broke my left ankle at the end of September.
2019’s ‘diminished perceptibly’ found me at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan.
Back tomorrow.
