Gaslight Cats

Sorry I’ve been MIA the last few days. I find that I have the same anxiety holding me back here as in recording Gord’s Gold, it’s choosing the subject matter. There are so many musicians I love; how do I single one out? There’s so much on my mind, how do I decided which one […]

Testing Testing 1-2-3

Today I took some tests that I didn’t study for, the COVID-19 test and the COVID-19 anti-body test. This is to determine if I am now, or ever have been, a member of the COVID-19 party. Maybe I’m a fellow traveler as I have friends that tested positive. I haven’t gotten tested until now because […]

Masking Priorities

I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]

Waiting for Not Godot

I’ve become a waiter. I’m sitting here waiting for UPS to pick up my Amazon return, the one I waited all day yesterday for them to pick up, and I’m waiting for someone at the Bronx office of the NYC board of elections to talk to me about my missing absentee ballot. I’ve been waiting […]

Sweet Garlic Entry

It’s not the morning but at least I’m writing. It would probably help if I knew what I was writing about. I’m keeping up the good dinners; last night I had sweet garlic ham steak and fried plantains. Everyone should try sweet garlic topping, it’s so easy to do. The original recipe I saw said […]

Crystal Clear

Was the most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday my first cold brew coffee of the year? It might be. I wonder if what I like about it is just how it’s made. If there were a blind taste test would I know the difference between it and regular iced coffee? Would most people? […]

The Seamstress and the Tailor

Good news, I woke up this morning feeling much better. There’s always some residual discomfort after an obstruction but that’s minor. I’ve been able to eat normally today. Breakfast was scrappleeggsandcheese on pita. I put up a cold brew on Sunday when this was just starting. I kept it brewing until this morning. It tasted […]

The Crohn’s Wars

Sorry I’ve been MIA; I’ve had Crohn’s problems since Sunday. I’ve always called it a Crohn’s attack, but my doctor doesn’t as it’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction due to damage done by old flare ups. Picture the end of my small intestine, the terminal ileum, as a mass of scar tissue. Things […]

Sermon on the Heights (well not that far)

Is this an idiot story? This morning after breakfast I started feeling the bloat of a Crohn’s attack coming on. Then it got better. Then ate way too many sweets. Now my tummy feels bloated again. Yes, that counts as an idiot story. I hope I feel up to eating dinner later. I ate breakfast […]

Dance of the Entyvio

Good morning My Gentle Readers. I know that technically it’s not morning, it’s 7:35 PM but I woke up from a nap, so it feels like morning. Maybe the problem is that I made breakfast and had my coffee too early. I guess that’s what I should write about. I went for my infusion today. […]
