I'm trying. Really, I am. But the creative stuff is just not happening to the extent that I want it to. Taking care of the grandkids sometimes seems to be about all I can do. Below, a fairly good pic of how I'm feeling tonight. (It's 1:15 a.m.)

Not even motivated by pussy in my old age. Women want status. I don't want to struggle to prove to any woman that I have any level of status to offer.

The dead of night is my creative time. The world is completely asleep out here in the Catskills.
Also seems to be a time for contemplating my mortality. I feel keenly how my time is running out. Odd memories from the past pop up. People I haven't seen in decades. Events that might have played out differently if only...
I think I'll pull out my classical repertoire, then hunker down for some yoga. Maybe that will pull my head out of my ass.
