The Alien and Creation Act

I’ve had problems writing the last few days. Even though I’m going out the routine of a Donut Walk™ has its limits as blogging material. I had a harrowing experience. As I was crossing the street a car ran two red lights and passed right in front of me. I have never seen such blatant […]

Preparation Radar

I’ve eaten breakfast and I’m drinking my coffee and starting writing before noon, I’m ahead of the game. Yesterday’s adventure was not my Donut Walk™ but the even better Coffee & Donut Walk™. That does mean I ordered a coffee and donut someplace. First I made my usual walk to Krispy Kreme but then continued […]

Dinos and Pangolin

I need to get out today but I’m going to write first while I remember what I want to write about. After brunch I watched a webinar by B&H photography on wildlife conservation and photography with Jennifer Vitanzo. My musical friends know her as Genevieve. I keep it simple and always call her Gen, at […]

The Tale of the Missing Phone

A poor start to today. First I slept until noon. I think the reason is I forgot to use a nasal strip last night so had trouble breathing. Then as I was getting out of bed I dropped my phone and it fell into another dimension. I spent an hour looking for it. I assumed […]

Friday Nights are for Singing

A miracle. I’m writing in the morning before breakfast and even coffee. I used to do this all the time, maybe I can get back to it. It helps that yesterday I went out and did things. It was Friday in May or June so if you ever want to bet where I’ll be bet […]

Listen to Fauci Not Me

Today’s effort at writing in the morning fell victim to caffeine deficiency. I’m back in the afternoon topped off with two cups of coffee. It’s a beautiful day and I will get out of the house; the plan is to buy potatoes after the Donut Walk™. I’m listening to the Mets as I write this. […]

Triangle Trade

Wow, another nighttime edition of Gord’s Gold, maybe this will become a thing. I have not talked about food enough of late. I thought of that when I was eating my eggs Horvendile this morning. This was a new variation. As always it’s two poached eggs topped with cheese and ham on top of some […]

In Defense of Bias

Here’s a first, updating while listening to a Met game. They are beating the Cardinals 5-2 in the third. You read that right, the Mets have five runs in three innings. It  helps that they scored runs on a bases loaded hit-by-pitch and bases loaded walk. I didn’t leave the house today, that’s two days […]

Put a Circle Around It

After going days without writing here is my second Gord’s Gold in 15 hours. This is another incredibly happy entry with surprise extra happiness as David Wax Museum joined by Alec Spiegelman just started a pop-up livestream and that’s my soundtrack while writing. For 20 years the most common element of Wise Madness has been […]

Blowin’ In The Wind

Welcome to a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’m doing it now because I have fallen so far behind, Tonight I’ll write about Friday and tomorrow about today. We’ll leave the rest of the time since I last wrote as a mystery as it clearly wasn’t […]
