I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter, who people would listen to, that was when I started feeling good about myself.
October brings the change of seasons and cooling down in areas that are still over 80° such as NYC on Friday. Our warming planet ready made its mark on the human journey this summer ... Although thoughts of climate change and El Nino this winter are scary and can make your teeth chatter.
October is a month of sports especially for those into baseball and football. My favorite team - the Buffalo Bills - are 3-0 on the season so far and play again tomorrow. I can't wait!
Looking at baseball, the New York Yankees continue their quest for the World Series. The real test begins tonight against their AL East division rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays - the latter being the favored team. Aaron Judge is not back on the Yankee roster so far. The 6-foot-7 slugger has been sidelined since September 16, 2026 due to a right calf strain. They really need him! Go Yankees!
October in media brings the return of old shows and the introduction of new series. Ellie checking the lineups and setting her DVR. Actually, some of the digital streaming services aired great original movies and TV series this summer - much better than in the old days when there was nothing to watch for months.
I told AI to add a background of what it might look like if I was a magician.
It chose a portal.
In the blink of an eye (of newt) October delivers Halloween - and the ultimate month for horror fans as networks and streaming platforms unleash their best spooky movies, new slasher series, and psychological thrillers. The annual "Spooktober" rollout is officially underway for October 2026, bringing a massive wave of fresh scares and nostalgic marathons. Boo! Not my thing.
If we're talking about spooky in October ... this takes us close to the midterm elections. To be perfectly honest, I haven't followed any of it - even Kathy Hochul running again for governor of New York. I just assume she'll win. The scariest politician of all ... ta da ...You know who I mean! The ultimate Trickster. Boo! Rewrite!
Spooky events and the unexplained often overlap with the paranormal and metaphysics. This takes me to something that happened to me this week. Thursday I received a podcast request linked to the Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project - Fiction, Non-Fiction or a bit of both?
You probably remember those storylines in our simulation - the Time Travel and Mind Control Experiments that connected me to Preston Nichols, Duncan Cameron, and others with the same memories that take us back to World War II Experiments - and local aliens experimenting on humans to create hybrids.
The first time I saw Preston Nichols was on a VHS tape in somebody's basement where he was talking about both of those topics. As I was watching with my friend, Linda, suddenly my body and mind froze. I had never heard of any of these men and the events and yet I was scared shitless.
Linda and I couldn't figure out what it was other than the fact that I am connected to the time travel experiments during World War II Germany. Maybe Preston was just triggering something in me, but it was as spooky as a ghost on Halloween.
A few weeks later, Linda took me to see Preston at a lecture he was giving on Long Island. When I saw him in person, it didn't feel the same. I don't think it was Preston that emotionally affected me the way the video did. I think it was the content. It was not only a marker on my timelines (a trigger), but a confirmation of things I had learned about myself in the years leading up to that point.
Duncan and Preston later became guests on my 1990's TV show "The Metaphysical Experience" as well as giving a workshop in my home. When that door opens by one of the people connected to time travel, World War II and aliens ... Something always happens.
Wait! I just remembered that I dreamed about Whitley Strieber last night. He was trying to tell me something but I can't remember what it was. Bummer.
I don't think the simulation is ending yet but something out there ... of which none of us are aware ... is aligning. =
Perhaps you see it. Perhaps you don't. A magician is always one step ahead and never reveals how his, or her, illusions are created.
This week the New York Times featured a profile piece about Tim Victor, a man who lives in my building. How a Brooklyn Fashionista Lives on $67,000 a Year in Bay Ridge
Tim and I have known each other for years - always stopping to talk about this and that. Tim stands out in the crowd for several reasons - his height at 6'3" - often appearing taller with his hair tucked into some sort of head piece, his flamboyant gay appearance, and simply the fact that he is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. You can't help but recognize that he is somehow involved in the entertainment industry when you first see him. See pics on Instagram.
In my many years in the fields of metaphysics and sometimes entertainment - I have developed an infinity for flaming gay men. It's kind of a giggling thing with openness and honesty. Someone once told me that every straight woman needs a gay male friend. I agree.
Tim works as a music teacher in Brooklyn and goes thrift shopping and to fashion shows in New York and Paris. As I started to read the NYT story, the pieces came together for me that this is my friend from the building - the man who stands out in the crowd and is exceptionally charismatic and positive.
From the pics in the article - I recognized Tim's studio apartment. As you look at the picture of him walking down 4th Avenue, there's a red brick building on the left. The next building, walking towards the bridge, is home. I'm hoping that this article helps Tim pursue his careers outside of teaching. Good luck Tim.
He was wearing a tee-shirt that said Pip's where Billy used to perform on Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. I was there the night the comedy club opened in 1962 and also did some standup. The family is divided on whether Billy and I are cousins. When my father retired to Florida, he met a relative who said that we were.
