Marvel at Thanatolgy

Where did today go? Why didn’t I write earlier? Once again I’m caught in a spacetime vortex. Do these things happen to other people? Is this what happened to Amelia Earhart? Are they going to find her sitting at a computer saying, “Where did the last 84 years ago? Why did I get on this […]

Baseball, Food, and Music: The Holy Trinity

Here’s a peek inside my brain. I just read something on Facebook that got me mad. Ten seconds later I have no idea what it was. I’m not going to go back and try and find it. It was neither politics nor baseball, the two topics that generate the most posts that offend me. Guess […]

Lost in Anxiety

Welcome to a writing while watching the Met game edition of Wise Madness. Let’s see if I can gather enough concentration. Yesterday was not a good day. The weather wasn’t good, I didn’t take my walk, the only time I left the apartment was a quick run to the local supermarket. I bought comfort food, […]

Idiot X 3

It just hit me that when I’m not writing about music and food I’m telling you idiot stories, tales of me being an idiot, or being the smartest guy in the room, tell My Gentle Readers about things I think many people don’t know or misunderstand. I’m comfortable with the latter when the subjects are […]

Keeping Cool in the Heat

Give me the Al Gore environment award; I went the first day of the heat wave without using AC. My prewar building deserves some of the credit. I rushed to put the AC in the window and didn’t need it. By the time, the heat wave is over I’m sure I will. The building has […]

Internal Error 407

Mea Culpa, I did not go out either yesterday or today. Last night I could have seen the wonderful Miwa Gemini do a porch show but the combination of the trip to Brooklyn and the Mets playing a doubleheader talked me out of it. Today there was nothing on my Radar and Jacob deGrom pitching […]

Bank Error In Your Favor

This is the second day in a row I started writing before breakfast. Maybe I can get back in the habit. Since I started walking regularly people keep saying things like “I bet you are feeling better now.” The answer is no, I feel worse. One benefit of being sessile for a year is that […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Today I’m writing while listening to the Met game; let’s see how that works out. I can tell this is one of those days I’m going to have to force myself to go out and take my walk. I also have to do laundry. Will I find the motivation? You’ll find out the day after […]

Nerds On Your Radar

I have time for a short entry before I take my Donut Walk™. My posts are so varied, do you find that a problem? One day I’ll write a silly recounting of  my day with self-deprecatory humor and the next a serious piece on punishment that asks you to rethink the issue. When we aren’t […]

I’d Walk Five Miles for Pub Fries

I left the  house yesterday! After two days inside I needed a longer walk, Krispy Kreme wouldn’t suffice. Instead of a Donut Walk™ I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ and grocery shopping trip. A week and a half ago I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ because Wendy’s had an offer on the app […]
