It’s Alive!

I had an insight yesterday, something I wanted to share with you. I’m also an idiot so forgot it. It will probably come to me as soon as I post this and then I’ll forget it again tomorrow. I was going to say that it’s not easy not having a brain, but the whole point […]

Friends, Music, and Food, aka The Usual

I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]

Music Needs to Follow Orders

The reason I didn’t blog yesterday is that I’m an idiot. I had Word open and was about to write when I got a text from Bri, asking me about parking at Allison’s house. That’s when I realized it was Thursday and I was supposed to be boarding a bus to New Jersey at that […]

Hurray for Mozart

I’m back to the August doldrums. After therapy I went home and watched the Mets lose. That’s my plan for tonight too, except for the game’s outcome. I got something done; I recorded two editions of Gord’s Gold, featuring Her Crooked Heart and Jean Rohe. I had already recorded Jean’s but that was before I […]

The Right Man For the Job is a Woman

I want to talk about choosing a president. I’m going to go about it in a round about way, retracing my mental steps. It starts with baseball. Everything you need to know you can learn from baseball.

Birthday Dayenu

I celebrated my birthday on Thursday but yesterday was the actual date. I spent it doing nothing special and that was by design. I took it easy, though not as easy as I’m spending today. It was Friday so the day started with an expedition to Harrison to see my therapist. It was beastly hot […]

All-Star Radar

I had my second glass of iced coffee, this one with ice cream instead of ice, so I’m ready to tackle my second blog of the day. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. It was the second Tuesday of July and that […]

Go Fourth

Happy Independence Day! That must always be acknowledged. I listened to The Egg and Is Anybody There from 1776 before I went to sleep last night. I couldn’t wait till I woke up. There must be someplace I can watch the film on TV today. I’ll see. Yesterday I did one of the top items […]

My Mets Right or Wrong

I’m writing this twelve hours later than I should have. Will I remember what happened yesterday? You’ll never know, I’ll just make it up if I don’t. I went to my second Met game this week, this one against their hated crosstown rivals the New York Yankees. It’s Good versus Evil. I’m on the side […]

The Facts Fan, Just the Facts

I changed up my usual routine and I’m starting this at the time I’m usually finishing writing. I had my breakfast and most importantly my coffee. One of the best things about iced coffee is that I don’t have to brew it every day. I just pour it. I pronounce the d in iced coffee. […]
