A Cheesy Idiot Story

I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]

Bank Error In Your Favor

This is the second day in a row I started writing before breakfast. Maybe I can get back in the habit. Since I started walking regularly people keep saying things like “I bet you are feeling better now.” The answer is no, I feel worse. One benefit of being sessile for a year is that […]

Food Glorious Food

I simply forgot to blog today. I’ll see what I can get done while I listen to Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s going to be tough as the guy that programs it knows exactly what music I love, and he tells great stories. It’s radio so I can’t see what he looks like, […]

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 […]

A Nebulous Post

Yesterday’s dilemma was whether or not to go on the Donut Walk™. I’ve gone twice since I threw my back out. One time it was not worth the pain. I had trouble making it home. The other time wasn’t as bad, but part of that was chance. There was a hard surface I could put […]

I’m here to talk about the draft

Today was my Fantasy baseball draft. For the first time since 1989 we have a new league, half the league seceded from the old one. We did not fire on Fort Sumter. As we don’t identify with the Confederacy we call ourselves the Rebel Alliance. Everything was held online of course. While I miss the […]

Back to the Future

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I can’t believe how long I waited to start today. Everything in my life seems to be on hold but Gord’s Gold. That’s the one thing that I can always work on. Today I got a box of CDs and a digital download. That a lot of listening homework. What […]

Can’t We All Get Along Like Mac & Cheese

I’m giving myself a folk music break and listening to classical music while I write this. I’ve been trying to listen to as much new to me folk music as I can to find material for Gord’s Gold. The problem is that Ted Sturgeon was right, 90% of everything is crud. I often have the […]

Stop Thief!

The heat was out again; this time I didn’t wait, I put on an extra hoodie and warmer slippers. It did not reach mukluk cold. Now the heat is back, and the extra hoodie is off and I’m debating putting on my regular slipper socks. My toes are on the edge of being too warm […]

A Dream Within a Dream

I spent all day yesterday working on my fantasy baseball league draft at 8 PM. We could log in at 7 and it was my intention to do so and ask some questions I had about the format We have never done an ESPN league before. I was a little late making dinner and logged […]
