Wise Madness
I’m having too many of these posting dry spells. As I always say it would help if I left the house some. A feels like temperature of 7º argues against that happening today. Perhaps I’ll run to the local supermarket, I need a few things. I’m not going to walk my usual three plus miles. […]
I always seem to start by apologizing for not writing. The problem is that the more time I have to write the less I have to write about. I just came up with two thoughts; I can write about music I don’t hear live, and I can write about current events. Writing about my personal […]
This blog accompanies tonight’s edition of Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s my annual list of favorite albums of the year. This is not a top ten list. This is an hour’s worth of radio list. As a bonus there is also my favorite EP and single of the year. If you tune in […]
I’m going to post my favorite albums of the year list tonight at 9 PM to coincide with my Favorites of 2021 show on Folk Music Notebook. Set your alarms now because you don’t want to miss it. In light of that I’m going to do something strange today, link to a blog from eight […]
Yesterday was Tuesday and I finally did what I plan on doing every Tuesday, I went to the movies. Why? I have an AMC gift card and they give a discount on Tuesdays. They also give discounts for seniors and matinees. Even with the service fee it only cost $8.25. Given Omicron surge I had […]
Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in years; I went to a football game, Jets vs Jaguars. The Jets are awful. The Jags are awful. I’m not a big football fan. Why did I go? To hang out with Alan and give myself street cred as an American male. It took four trains to […]
Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]
The days of no effort COVID-19 testing are no more. Till now I just stopped by the booth by Krispy Kreme or Aldi and spent perhaps five minutes getting tested. Now as Jimmy Durante said, “Everybody wants to get into the act.” When I got to my place on Fordham Plaza it took 52 minutes […]
Dateline Arthouse Hotel: Lena is visiting New York, has an extra bed in her room, so I’m crashing here rather than commuting back to the Bronx. What have we been doing? Music and food; in other words what I always do and write about. Well sometimes it’s food and music. On Monday night we attempted […]
Yesterday’s adventure was walking to and from Aldi. That’s not that exciting but I did walk 4.42 miles and burned 480 calories. The hill coming home with all my groceries is the killer. It’s 157 feet high. What’s my idiot story? I know I had an idiot story. I guess that my idiot story is […]
