Yesterday I went on a musical extra-inning double-header. In the afternoon I saw Lohengrin with Carey, Barbara, and Charles. Do all of my Gentle Readers know that I love opera and especially love Wagner? It has not been an active part of my life for a while but my love for it never goes on […]

The big news, I’m typing with two hands. My left one did not fall off from the cut. I didn’t even lose a finger. That is somewhat disappointing. Instead of the full gauze bandage I’m wearing a bandaid and it hardly hurts. Now that It’s not gross I might take a photo when I change […]
I teased what happened yesterday on Facebook. Now to tell you the bloody details. I came home from school to have a quick turnaround until the Knick game. When I got home I realized that I forgot to freeze the bagels I had bought the day before. Needless to say, they were very hard. That […]

Red Mill
I went to the theater! I do not do that enough. Alison and I have for years gotten together once a year to see a Broadway show. We haven’t since COVID-19. Wednesday, we made it happen. I was able to get tickets to Moulin Rouge for the matinee. I knew almost nothing about the show. […]
I took yesterday off from everything I didn’t get dressed. The biggest effort I made all day was making hot dogs and fries in the air fryer for dinner. No, that’s the second biggest effort, the biggest was attempting to make an omelet in the air fryer. I cooked it in a cake pan. It […]
I’m posting again, give me a cookie! Today is the best day ever. Why? It’s Valentine’s Day. No, that does not mean I have a Valentine. As has happened every year of my life I’m alone on Valentine’s Day. I’m not a misanthrope, not having someone special is not a good thing. So why is […]

I Love War (Sunny)
On Tuesday night I saw Sunny War at a WFUV marquee show at the City Winery Loft. Sorry, I’ve fallen way behind in my blogging again. I’ve fallen behind in my life. Today I have to write this and create next week’s Gord’s Gold from scratch. Usually by Saturday all I have to do is […]
Last night I saw Tracy Grammer and Jim Henry give an amazing concert. Shame on me for waiting until 9:46 PM the next day to write about it. I have an excuse to not write it in the morning but that’s it. They played at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series in Deep Dark New Jersey, […]

What Do I Teach
I have an hour and a half break now. That’s a good reason to write. This morning I proctored an exam; that was depressing even though it wasn’t my class. Out of 13 students only 7 showed up and one never tried to answer anything. All math teachers need to be reminded that this isn’t […]

Is a Tomato a Fruit?
Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable? I’m going to be writing about something important, sensitive, and personal to many of my friends. The reasons to start with tomatoes should make sense by the end. As an obnoxious pedant I like to point out that a tomato is a fruit. According to my neighbors […]
