Follow the Bouncing Microwave

Wow, I’m writing this when I’m supposed to, in the morning. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Now if I can get back to going to sleep earlier so I’m rested when I wake up. I just closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I could make coffee but once I do […]

If You Don’t Like This Blame WordPress not Me

Nothing exciting going on in my life so I’ll live dangerously and talk about my thoughts. That’s after the important things, my food. I made grits ala Horvendile for the first time in a while and made it with a twist. The basic dish two eggs poached in a serving of grits. That alone is […]

Indulgences

I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]

I Hate Fighting with Friends

Let’s try a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I should be on my way home from Rockwood Music Hall now but the show I planned on going to was canceled because a band member got COVID-19. I had an interview for a teaching job yesterday. It went well and I have a video interview […]

Orpheus and Eurydice

Yesterday I saw Hadestown and that’s all I’m going to write about. I’ll eschew my usual rundown of my actions and thoughts. Hadestown deserves my full attention. This is my third time seeing it on Broadway; I saw it once off-Broadway and many times as a concert piece with various casts. I’ve heard Anaïs Mitchell […]

Health and Dreams; Who Leads Whom?

I have a busy day today so this will have to be short. Yesterday I went to in-person therapy. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it till I got there but it was only a 30-minute session. The trip takes an hour and a half each way. On the bright side it’s good for my physical health, […]

I can’t believe this entire day slipped away from me. It’s 9 PM and I’ve hardly done anything, I haven’t even blogged. I have a readymade excuse, but I’m not using it as that would be a lie. I must be honest with My Gentle Readers. So, let’s move back to yesterday and my excuse […]

Wise Madness and Gord’s Gold are starting to blend in my head. The thoughts that I used to organize as imagined blog posts now sometimes come out as imagined things to say on Gord’s Gold. I almost started this with Welcome My Gentle Listeners. You aren’t My Gentle Listeners, you are My Gentle Readers, and […]

You Might Say I Saw Jackson-Brown

I wimped out yesterday, I did not go to the Jack Hardy Lungs Harvest Arts Festival? So many of my friends and favorites played: Kathryn Bloss Charles Nolan Sharon Goldman Bev Grant Ina May Well Carolann Solebello Paul Sachs David Massengill Those names should all be familiar to My Gentle Readers. There were a few […]

I was thinking of skipping writing today but got saved by a stupid idea. What? You thought all my ideas were brilliant? Stupid ideas are more popular, ever watch TV or look at election results? Yesterday’s adventure was walking to Aldi. According to my fitness app I somehow managed to walk 6.1 miles; Google maps […]
