Freakazoids from Beyond Infinity

In addition to everything else COVID-19 makes it difficult for me to blog. “Dear diary, I stayed home yesterday.” Did I at least cook something interesting? I had blackened chicken again. That’s interesting the first time, but not the second time in a week. I go on social media and see how wonderful people are […]

RUNAtic on the Grass

Thanks everyone for all the encouraging reactions I got to my last post. It makes a difference. That’s as far as I got writing yesterday. I still don’t have this procrastination thing beat. I’ve spent so much time listening to streaming concerts the last few days. The big thing was the GODERICH CELTIC ROOTS FESTIVAL. […]

Music and the Garden

Usually I’ve had nothing to write about in the age of COVID-19. Then I was too busy to write yesterday about what happened on Saturday and now I have too much to write about. After all that I bet this will be short. I can pretty much summarize it in one sentence; “I love my […]

Air on a Conditioner

I accomplished something today. After suffering for weeks, I put in the air conditioners! It took me all this time to overcome my anxiety and ask the super to send someone up to install them. The guy never came. Then I realized, the reason I needed someone to do this kind of thing for me […]

Live, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Baseball

I got two phone calls today which slowed me down. Since the day before my birthday I’ve gotten so many calls that I haven’t felt the need to call anyone. There are specific people that I want to talk to, but I’m all talked out. This is a good problem to have. The seal on […]

Bus Ride Revelation

I’m listening to We’re About 9 now so I should say, I’m “Writing Again.” I wonder what fraction of My Gentle Readers get that? There was a time it would have been most of them. I’ll explain it before finish. What’s the excitement since I last wrote? My therapy was canceled today, and I couldn’t […]

The Birth of a Blogger

I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]

Gentle Arms of Dave Carter

A rare nighttime edition of Wise Madness. This is tough as I’m listening to Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry do a Dave Carter tribute. If you want to call Dave the greatest songwriter of his generation I’ll agree. If you want to call him the greatest song writer ever I won’t argue. Everyone thinks of […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I should have written this two hour ago, better late than never. I had another good day yesterday. Not as exciting as Sunday when I heard live music and at a restaurant with a friend. Yesterday’s accomplishments were sitting in for Tragedy Ann’s John Platt’s On Your Radar tech rehearsal. Rob Hinkal directs the show. […]

Sailor on Leave

Yesterday I had my best day in four months and it pretty much feels like the best day ever. I’m like a sailor on shore leave but instead of indulging in booze, women, and tattoos, I went for music, friends, and Thai food. Albeit the friend I spent the most time with is a woman, […]
