Wise Madness
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 is April 1 so here’s a warning; I’m going to fool you. I’m happy to announce that I’m totally over my Crohn’s attack. Today I ate breakfast, eggs Horvendile served on flatbread, and took my Donut Walk™. I’m back to feeling like a human being. I walked 3.58 miles. I stopped on the way […]
Yesterday I was a real American, I watched the Super Bowl. I timed things well. I sat down to eat dinner as Amanda Gorman was about to read her poem. She has become a celebrity poet. Have we had one before? Maybe Robert Frost but I was too young to remember that well. The Super […]
I just filled out my absentee ballot, put in the inner envelope, sealed, signed, and dated it, and properly put it in the out envelope with the bar code showing in the window. I still have to stamp and mail it. I’m crossing on the t’s and dotting all the i’s. I’ll mail it today […]
I used to write every day before eating breakfast. It’s now 8:09 PM and I’m just starting to write. I’ll eat dinner when I’m done. I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are up 9-1 so I won’t feel bad about missing some of it to cook. Yesterday I was feeling blah. I had […]
