I like you and your posts but, yes, I do find them difficult to follow quite often. It’s not a majority of time, but it’s enough that I do associate your username with idiosyncratic prose. ---

I’m working hard on a stream of unconsciousness. Medications help, and setting timers to random intervals. But don’t leave mandolins scattered around the floor to stumble over. No good can come of that. ---

Having recently finished Bob Dylan’s _Chronicles I_, I can say your stream of consciousness is clearer and less turbulent than his, if that’s any help. The only post of yours I found remotely confusing was the one about your daughter’s roommate. At least, I think it was about your daughter’s roommate\*.\* ---

I don’t have any trouble understanding you. I sometimes find you very funny. "_He asked how I am. I mentioned my impotence but he isn’t a psychologist so he was uninterested."_ That made me laugh out loud.
