Roe v Fish Eggs

I’m out of the habit of writing. I must get back into it. This should have been written this morning. I have so many things on my mind. The problem is that I’m mentally sharp and it’s hard to keep things balanced on anything that comes to a point. One project that took some time […]

The Greatest Gift

I am going to get out of shape, I haven’t taken a walk in a week. I planned on one yesterday, but I had a video doctor’s appointment. If it was in person, I’d have walked one way. It was video because my doctor was sick. I feel bad, I disappointed him. He’s been talking […]

Thanksgiving with PJ Friends

I’m back to blogging, did you miss me? There was a series of titles I was going to use but have no forgotten them all. I’ll just attempt a brief recap of this year’s Thanksgiving which like all Thanksgivings with the Van Mercs, was the best Thanksgiving ever. Last you heard from me I was […]

The Return of Common Ground

I had another pre-pandemic typical day. Yesterday’s adventure was going to Common Ground Coffeehouse to see The Murphy Beds. Even though they are a pain for the carless to get to shows at Common Ground are home games; I’m one of the volunteers. It helps that Carter’s taste is the closest to mine of any […]

Adore Amador

I had a typical Gordon Friday; I went to therapy and then a concert; a little normalcy is nice. I was going to say this could have been pre-pandemic but there were a few things different. Yesterday’s Wise Madness, Talking ‘Bout My Generation and Yours Too, took longer to write than I budgeted which through […]

Majority of One

Why haven’t I written yet today? I know, it’s because I’m an idiot. I also didn’t take my walk. I put it off so long that it was already getting dark. I have to adjust my schedule to Standard Time.  Remember way back when that I had a disagreement with two New York Police Department […]

The One Commandment

I didn’t write yesterday, I hate when I do that, now I must catch up. On Sunday night I went to my first Knick game since the COVID-19 lockdown. They were good about requiring proof of vaccination but not about masks. Getting in was a mess as they checked the vaccination status; I missed the […]

I Said Poll Worker Not Pole Dancer

I have a good excuse for not blogging yesterday, I was working the polls from 5 AM to 10 PM, with two one-hour breaks. I set my alarm for 4:15 but somehow awoke on my own a few minutes after 4:00 I decided to use that extra time to eat breakfast sitting down at home […]

Judge Not

I might have plans for today other than the Halloween Party, a new folk opera Tam Lin  by Fiona Gillespie and Elliot Cole. I wish I knew about this earlier, I just found out late last night. Fiona posted this picture on Facebook. How can you not want to see an opera based on the […]

The Way My Brain Works or Doesn’t

Let’s see if I’m awake enough to write. I’m working the polls on Tuesday; that means being there from 5 AM to about 10 PM. I’m planning on waking up around 4:15, that is much closer to when I usually go to sleep. I decided to spend the weekend shifting my internal clock. Usually I […]
