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 […]

Untitled

Let’s start with an idiot story; you know why? I’m an idiot. This starts immediately after I updated yesterday. I wrote about how I had a lot of time pressure and had to get moving. I was good and went right into the shower so that I could take my Donut Walk™ and be back […]

Italian-Jewish Fusion

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get myself asleep earlier. Last night I stayed up late by choice, I watched the Lakers-Warriors game. I get to watch postseason basketball on TV as it’s on free channels ESPN and TNT. This was postseason but it was not a playoff game, it was a play-in game, a practice […]

A Happy Blog About a Colonoscopy

Wow, I’m starting to write at 9:22 like I’m supposed to. I also woke up before my alarm. Maybe my body is getting past the pandemic blurring of time. That would be nice. Or maybe it’s the drugs. We’ll get to the drugs in a bit. Yesterday I had my colonoscopy. Those who follow me […]

I Hope My Magnetic Image Resonates with You

Today you get to hear about my MRI, isn’t that exciting? It actually is, it’s amazing technology. I feel like I’m living in the future when I get one. There is prep involved that isn’t pleasant but was much better than I remembered it. Four hours before the procedure I had to take two teaspoons […]

Come Out Morgan

I am often tempted to start my blog with “Good Morning Campers!” Do you know why? I’m thinking of Tommy’s Holiday Camp. I’m hearing it in Keith Moon’s voice. That doesn’t explain why I feel the desire to start that way. The answer to that is that I’m a weirdo. Sometimes things are simpler than […]

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 […]

Whose Lives Matter

I haven’t written in days so I will now even though it’s 7:09 and I haven’t had dinner, I haven’t talked to a friend today, and I’m way behind on writing postcards to voters in Georgia. I can’t let this dry spell go on a minute longer. Blogging is important to me I’ve made expeditions […]

Nature Walk, Pizza, Pancakes, and Bri

Yesterday was bleak and dreary, a perfect day to take a walk. That’s how you have to think, go out when other people won’t be going out to minimize your contact. There was even some drizzle but with my cap and hood on I didn’t feel it. I walked down the median of Mosholu Parkway […]
