Wise Madness
A miracle. I’m writing in the morning before breakfast and even coffee. I used to do this all the time, maybe I can get back to it. It helps that yesterday I went out and did things. It was Friday in May or June so if you ever want to bet where I’ll be bet […]
Wow, another nighttime edition of Gord’s Gold, maybe this will become a thing. I have not talked about food enough of late. I thought of that when I was eating my eggs Horvendile this morning. This was a new variation. As always it’s two poached eggs topped with cheese and ham on top of some […]
After going days without writing here is my second Gord’s Gold in 15 hours. This is another incredibly happy entry with surprise extra happiness as David Wax Museum joined by Alec Spiegelman just started a pop-up livestream and that’s my soundtrack while writing. For 20 years the most common element of Wise Madness has been […]
Time is doing strange things; like Sandy Denny I ask, “Who knows where the time goes.” This is what comes of missing my Donut Walk™. The back pain has a lot to do with it but not all. The more I don’t go out the more difficult I find it to get myself moving. Yesterday […]
Today was my Fantasy baseball draft. For the first time since 1989 we have a new league, half the league seceded from the old one. We did not fire on Fort Sumter. As we don’t identify with the Confederacy we call ourselves the Rebel Alliance. Everything was held online of course. While I miss the […]
I have an emergency here. I went to make coffee and the water I turned off! There was no warning about this from the building management. What do I do? Stand next to the sink until water starts coming out? Go back and check every 5 minutes which could mean going an extra 5 minutes […]
I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]
Huzzah, I did something more than a Donut Walk™ yesterday. I went to visit a real live friend! I got on the subway, traveled to Brooklyn, and met Katherine in Prospect Park. I am losing my Brooklyn cred; I incorrectly pictured the Parkside subway station and its relationship to the park, and I know longer […]
I’m not taking a Donut Walk™ today. I woke up with my back hurting and decided that’s my body’s way of saying, “take a day off.” I thought my arthritis was in remission but perhaps it’s just that I went a year putting hardly any stress on it. I have not been wearing my backpack […]
I missed one day but it feels like forever since I’ve written. Last night I had these serious ideas to write about. Now I’m not sure what they all were or if I will write any of them. One requires some courage on my part. I’ll start easy, idiot story adjacent, both related to Gord’s […]
