Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #114, or The Difficulty of Help

Hello, friends. This week, I went to the doctor (last week I brought my father) and she thinks my high blood pressure, which we’ve been trying to manage since last year, may be anxiety more than anything else. So instead of upping the blood pressure medications, we’re upping my antidepressants. While we still can, anyway. […]

Gauthic Times #113 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or A Letter to Mom

Hello, friends. This week I brought my father to the doctor’s and then had other things to do. There was a staff meeting after school on Wednesday and grades are due for report cards so I’ve been staying late at work to catch up on grades. I still managed to work on Project: Amusement Park. […]

Gauthic Times #112 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or You Have to Love It

Hello, friends. How are you doing right now? Everything is kinda bonkers, right? Just do what you can to get through. Have hope and be the light in the darkness when you can. Some days you won’t feel that way, and that’s okay. Recharge your batteries. But try to be the light when you can. […]

Gauthic Times #111 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Sidelines of Noise

Hello, friends. What a crazy week this has been. Four nights of ridiculously tense basketball, my father leaving the care facility and the issues following, and the rest of the dumpster fire this world is becoming. But here we are with another weekly update. So, let’s go. Welcome to the 111th installment of Gauthic Times, […]

Gauthic Times #110 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or My Call to Arms

Hello, friends. This past week’s vacation was productive in terms of writing. More on that later, though, along with some thoughts about it. It was nice to be able to focus on things here as everything else seemed pretty crazy or tense. Anyway, let’s get into it. Welcome to the 110th installment of Gauthic Times, […]

Gauthic Times #109 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or My Personal Horizon

Hello, friends. I’m on a weeklong school vacation that is, as usual, perfectly timed. I’ve come to a wall in many ways and am questioning a lot of things. It was mostly a good week at the day job but the down parts there were really low. I don’t want to dwell on the past […]

Gauthic Times #108 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or When the Hell Am I?

Hello, friends. Sometimes I’m all over the place. Today has been like that. I’ve done some running around because a snowstorm is coming and I needed to move my Dad’s minivan because of a parking ban where he lives. Then I had to get some gas and get some lunch. My Crohn’s Disease has been […]

Gauthic Times #107 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or The Sky is Falling

Hello, friends. Not even two weeks into the 🍊💩🤡’s new reign of terror and there are literally planes falling out of the sky. There is so much going on that it’s impossible to keep track of and when true journalists like Jim Acosta, Dan Rather, and Norah O’Donnell are saying that mainstream news has been […]

Gauthic Times #106 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or A Bullshit Post for a Bullshit Timeline

Hello, friends. I’m still here, so far. A trying week, for sure, but work got done. Nothing like escaping into make believe to make a person feel better. So that’s what I’ve done. Working on the book, drawing, reading, watching stuff, and other assorted things have been the way to get through. And helping where […]

Gauthic Times #105 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or The Last Lone American Night

Hello, friends. Bruce Springsteen’s “Radio Nowhere” was a single on his 2007 album Magic. The album, as a while, was a response to life in George W. Bush’s Post-9/11 America. I find a lot of the album relevant now. The same happened between 2016-2020, too. This weekend, though, a line from “Radio Nowhere” keeps running […]
