Does This Mean I’m Magnetic?

I had an MRI yesterday; will that make me resonate with you? I didn’t think so. The test was scheduled for 2:45 and I couldn’t eat for four hours beforehand so I had what was for me a big breakfast. I finished off the bacon, that means I have to buy more. The worst part […]

Emotional Support Animal

The closest thing I had to an adventure yesterday getting my free drink at Dunkin’ Donuts on my Donut Walk™. Ironically, I don’t get the donut at DD but at Krispy Kreme. I prefer DD to KK, but KK gives a free one every day if you’ve been vaxxed. It was extremely hot, so I […]

Leave the Porch Light On

I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]

Love and Bacon

I have solved a question that has been confounding philosophers, poets, and psychologists since people gained the power of speech; “What is love?” The answer is going to sound like a joke, but I am totally serious. Love is a person having the same effect on another as bacon has on me. That’s not nearly […]

The LunÀtico Is Not On the Grass

Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]

A Cheesy Idiot Story

I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]

Rugby > Soccer

I don’t know if I should file this under selfcare or self-harm. I didn’t take  my walk yesterday. I decided I needed a day not getting dressed. I went to the store a few blocks away but that did not involve getting dressed though I did put on sandals. I wore my lounging around the […]

Busy as a Me

It’s amazing how fast my life came back, in the last eight days I went to three concerts, a baseball game, and dinner with friends. I’m going to have to consider getting a monthly MetroCard. One argument against that is the temptation to take public transit to places I now walk to. I like walking […]

Swing and a Miss

Yesterday was another busy day. It started with going up to Harrison NY in Westchester for therapy. I walked from the train station to the hospital as the stupid Westchester bus runs only once an hour. I of course don’t mind that as I’m trying to walk every day. It was nice seeing my therapist […]
