That’s My Jam

Today’s idiot story. I forgot to blog, and I wanted to. Now I have to rush as I now have to get up at 6 AM to get to school. That’s cutting it close. I have to be efficient getting ready in the morning. I used to be able to do it. I will not […]

Crohnsy Capitalism

No, I’m not dead, kidnapped, hospitalized, or abducted by aliens, I just haven’t blogged in days and days. I apologize. I had good reason for not blogging at the start. On Friday I was a daredevil. On the way home from my walk I bought corn on the cob from a pop up stand on […]

The deGromitable Polar Bear

I’ll start with the easy stuff. I went to last night’s Mets game against Colorado. I had a choice of games and chose this one because the greatest pitcher on the planet, Jacob deGrom was pitching. If I could I’d see every deGrom start. Each one can be a gem. Jake only retired the first […]

Madoc and Me

I’m once again trying to write while watching the Mets. This will happen more often as I start my new job. This is a tough Met game. They fell behind 4-0, tied it up, now just allowed a three-run-homer to fall behind 7-4, It’s only the fourth inning. Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to […]

Today is not going as smoothly as yesterday. I stayed in bed an extra hour and I’m not blogging until 1:30 PM. On the bright side I made French toast for breakfast and watched the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. It didn’t sound exciting to me but that’s what I thought of Wandavision […]

Call Me Matt Murdoch

Mea Culpa, I’ve gotten terrible about updating. The last two days I found myself in the land of the lotus eaters for hours in the morning, the hypnopompia. This is why I have never used drugs; I have an addictive personality. It is so pleasant that I can’t tear myself away. I’m on a run […]

deGrom is My Shepherd/I Shall Not Want

Ready for a change of pace? What’s on my mind is baseball and my beloved Mets. At the end there will be a little baseball related politics. I’m a member of a Met fan group and seeing what other people post there made clear that Met fans act like people in an abusive relationship. We […]

4D Acres and a Mule

This week is off to a good start. Sunday night The Mets beat the Padres 8-5, breaking out of their scoring slump. They did this to make me look brilliant; Met manager Buck Showalter finally took my advice and started Guillorme over the totally hapless Escobar and inserted the newest Met, Vogelbach in as DH. […]

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Girls

I spent much of Friday planning then replanning, then rereplanning Gord’s Gold. I didn’t finish until tonight. I’ve more meticulous about the show’s timing. I now try hard to have been 54 and 55 minutes of music. On the bright side I have an entire set already organized for next week. I have 655 songs […]

The Fabled Isle of Coney

On Wednesday I went to Coney Island to see the Brooklyn Cyclones play the Greensboro Grasshoppers at the Cyclones beautiful Maimonides Park. The only reason I remember the corporate name is that my friend practiced at Maimonides Hospital for years and it’s where my mother was born. Is it odd that a hospital is a […]
