Wise Madness
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 […]
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 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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
Time is doing strange things; like Sandy Denny I ask, “Who knows where the time goes.” This is what comes of missing my Donut Walk™. The back pain has a lot to do with it but not all. The more I don’t go out the more difficult I find it to get myself moving. Yesterday […]
Welcome to the continuing saga of my out of whack back. I desperately needed some food, and my back has been improving so I set out to go shopping. Even though I live on the second floor I took the elevator down, why? On my first attempt to leave I hurt my back on the […]
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 […]
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 […]
