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 […]
Category: Gord’s Gold
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 […]
I have things to write about! I went out last night! I talked to friends! My totally involuntary August hiatus is sort of over. It’s not as my schedule is still light. At least today I don’t have to struggle to find something to write. Last night I went to Rockwood Music HallStage 3 for […]
I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]
Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]

Ivers Got a Secret
I finally finished writing about Falcon Ridge so I can now move on to other things. After spending six days surrounded by friends I have been almost totally isolated since then. I spoke to Bri on the phone once and saw my therapist yesterday. I had enough Falcon Ridge glow that I didn’t feel that […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I got back eight hours ago and had ambitions to do things today including writing this hours ago. It’s hard to do that when you fall asleep sitting in your chair. I still have things to do but I won’t make My Gentle Readers wait another second. Jake J asked […]

Making Progress
Yesterday’s plan was to not leave the air-conditioned apartment. I failed because I’m an idiot. I started to make breakfast, put the frozen bagel in the toaster oven, and only then remembered that I had only one egg. I was supposed to pick up a dozen on my way home from therapy the day before […]
I hit my trifecta yesterday, food, friends, and some synonym for music that starts with an f. Oh wait, this gets even better. Let me try again. Yesterday I hit the trifecta food, friends, and Friction Farm. Does that mean the day gets an F? Friction Farm, Christine Stay and Aiden Quinn, are erstwhile New […]
The muse is silent this morning so I decided to not blog this morning. Then I realized that was something to write about. My inspiration is being uninspired. It doesn’t help that yesterday I made a conscious decision to not leave the house. It meant not getting exercise, and I’ve been trying to walk to […]
