From Ball Park to Bronx Park

The Mets were losing 7-1 so I turned it off and switched to the Democratic Convention. A few minutes there reminded me of what I always knew, political conventions are just high school pep rally with better guests. The silver lining to this cloud is that I now I have an opportunity and motive to […]

Freelance Nunsense

Unbelievably I’m writing again. I have fallen behind even though I’m hardly doing anything. I’ll divide this entry into two parts, my health, for those who want to know how their friend is doing, and my musical adventure, for those who miss the Wise Madness view of the world. My Health: On Friday I had […]

Those are the Breaks

Today you’ll get my promised medical update. My appointment was for 8:45 so I planned on getting up at 7:30. Instead I woke up at 6:50. My first thought was great, now I don’t have to rush. My second thought was that I was in a lot of pain and getting out of bed wouldn’t […]

Gordon on the Rocks

Enough has happened to inspire me to write my first blog in six months. To be honest it’s mainly because I like the title. I had an eventful Thanksgiving. As my gentle readers know, every Thanksgiving I make a pilgrimage to Massachusetts to visit my once a year family. This year my friends decided to […]

A Tale Told By an Idiot

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 […]

The Charming Whiskey Charmers

Saturday Night I saw The Whiskey Charmers at Rockwood Music Hall. This was my first time seeing them since the pandemic started. Needless to say, I was excited. Not only are they one of my favorite bands, but Carrie and Lawrence are friends. It’s always better when the musical appreciation comes before the personal, then […]

Sling Shot

I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]

Crohnsy Capitalism

No, I’m not dead, kidnapped, hospitalized, or abducted by aliens, I just haven’t blogged in days and days. I apologize. I had good reason for not blogging at the start. On Friday I was a daredevil. On the way home from my walk I bought corn on the cob from a pop up stand on […]

Call Me Matt Murdoch

Mea Culpa, I’ve gotten terrible about updating. The last two days I found myself in the land of the lotus eaters for hours in the morning, the hypnopompia. This is why I have never used drugs; I have an addictive personality. It is so pleasant that I can’t tear myself away. I’m on a run […]

Doctor! Doctor! Give Me the News!

Yesterday I had my first appointment with a primary care physician in longer than I can remember. I haven’t avoided it; I didn’t have insurance then COVID-19 hit and couldn’t find a recommended doctor who would accept a new patient. I finally gave up and let the Montefiore Hospital system, the system I go to […]
