The other day I went to an overflowing Puget Sound Mycological Society lecture by Albert Garcia-Romaeu about the work of him and his colleagues
at Johns Hopkins. They have been studying the various benefits of
psilocybin, the LSD-like ingredient in magic mushrooms. They have
observed and confirmed various psychological, neurological and medical
benefits, as well as the benefit of a life-changing experience. (Here's a link to his work.)
This
has been an important topic on my last blog, but I am planning to cover
it better on this blog and on my YouTube channel. I will write more
about this in an upcoming post, and no doubt in videos.
First
I must say, I feel physiologically amazing from all these years of physical therapy are
paying off. My right glute and the right side of my leg, which is still
not quite developed enough, is the most sore from doing squats and
whatnot at the gym the other day. Most of my left side is not sore. Such
is the asymmetry of my body.
I seem to be needing
10-12 hours of sleep a day, as I sometimes do. Despite this, I am about
to move ahead with my next video, as soon as I review both parts of my
Gaslighting Extravaganza.
Tomorrow, I am planning to
meet a friend in SoDo as he takes off on the Red Dress Run, wearing a
paisley muumuu. I may try to watch Part 1 before and Part 2 afterward.
What an interesting plan for an intermission!
As far as
my laptop goes, it's still in the shop, but I should get it back this
month! When I do, I should have a chance to scrape some of my podcast
together and put it on the YouTube channel!
Rest assured, I have recorded much other video for YouTube, mostly in
October and November, and even some this month when it snowed, which I
have planned for a little musical interlude. I am not about to run out
of video anytime soon!
Something else: There are
several posts that I had started on this blog last year and never
finished, due to several factors. Now that my back seems capable of
holding me upright and keeping my torso in its proper shape, and I am
planning on publishing videos that were supposed to "go with" some of
these posts, it is much easier for me to focus on and accomplish this
task.
There are, of course, many other things I haven't
been working on, and am getting back to, so we will see how fast I am
able to accomplish all of this!
