Farewell Doctor

I’m going to have to stop writing in 15 minutes to watch Karen Dahlstrom streaming but as I’ve procrastinated all day and didn’t write yesterday I figured it’s best I get started. I’ve had a second glass of ice coffee; the second was actually ice creamed coffee so I should have enough energy. I didn’t […]

Getting Better All The Time

Last you heard from me; I was sick with Crohn’s. I was going to go to sleep at 11 o’clock as I couldn’t concentrate on anything. Then I got access to the Friday stream from the Philly Folk Fest. I watched Bobtown and that game me a second wind so I then watched Yasmin Williams. […]

The Crohn Ranger

Sorry for not posting; I’m not dead but I am sick. It’s my Crohn’s disease. I’ve eaten nothing since breakfast yesterday. I managed to watch some streaming concerts yesterday, The Ladlesmy latest musical discovery, and then Christine Lavin who I’ve known for over 30 years. I just realized I’ve known her for almost exactly half […]

What Everybody Knows Part:2

A miracle, I got myself to write in the morning. I’m always supposed to write in the morning. Not only that but I already created the Facebook event for the next John Platt’s On Your Radar and put away the dishes from the drying rack. I’m all sorts of productive today and this is before […]

Everybody Knows Part 1

I have done nothing interesting since I last blogged. Not quite true as I had poutine for dinner and poutine is always interesting. I wasn’t planning on it, but the chicken hadn’t defrosted, and I don’t have defrost a potato. Can you eat a potato after it’s been frozen? I think the protagonist of The […]

Worship without Gods

I put what I was planning on writing on the back burner. It was a deep philosophical dive into politics, economics, and pop culture. Instead I’m going to write about something I actually know, myself. That’s not being honest, or virtuous, it’s being lazy. It’s much easier to write about me. I went on adventures […]

Anticrastination

I hate when I fall behind in blogging. I didn’t blog yesterday but today I’m busy watching the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I was fortunate enough to have a friend gift me a ticket for today. This is where Gordon Privilege come in. I’m uncomfortable with most uses of “privilege.” Being treated the way everyone should […]

Biden My Time With Kamala

I should be able to write today and not be introspective. I was going to say, “annoyingly introspective,” but I’m not confident enough to make that joke. I am confident enough to reference making that joke. I need that one step of removal. That works for me. I’m not thinking of deleting all this and […]

Freakazoids from Beyond Infinity

In addition to everything else COVID-19 makes it difficult for me to blog. “Dear diary, I stayed home yesterday.” Did I at least cook something interesting? I had blackened chicken again. That’s interesting the first time, but not the second time in a week. I go on social media and see how wonderful people are […]
