In “Buying A Used Wheelchair,” breaking my wheelchair and buying a new one on Craigslist, more record shopping, cooking borscht and getting accepted for publication.
Every week we order pizza from the place in town. On the day after, for lunch I eat cold pizza with Hoppin Hot Sauce on it.
(Hoppin Hot Sauce jingle)
Those who say don’t know & who know don’t say
Subscribers get the selfie and the show notes e mailed to them, and I don’t know what they do with them
Record shopping
I went record shopping at Amoeba and it turned out to be a pretty good score:
- Something Is Wrong (Vintage Recordings From East Africa)
- Fiona Apple, “Tidal”
- Black Top Blues-a-rama, Volume 2 Live at Tipitina’s, New Orleans
- J Dilla, “Donuts”
The record store person gave me “the nod”
Terminal Event
I broke the arm off of my wheelchair, with a bang. The manufacturer was out of stock, but I needed to find a replacement. I got on my computer and I searched eBay and sfbay.craigslist.org. craigslist came through for me
Cooking While Disabled

We made borscht. For the second year in a row, we used this Serious Eats recipe for Hot Ukrainian Borscht (With Beets, Beef, Pork, and More)
Accepted
After an uninterrupted months-long streak of many rejections, a few different editors wrote me to let me know that my writing was accepted. All in all, a piece of microfiction (in this case, a story of exactly 50 words) and two poems. It’s very exciting to turn the corner on this project and move from submission to publication.
