Barnaby Brightest

Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]

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.

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 […]

Civics Lesson

I have a meeting in an hour. Let’s see if I can get something written by then. What exciting things did I do yesterday? Nothing. I even made a cheater dinner, a frozen Jamaican Spicy Beef Patty. I don’t buy prepared foods anymore, not for years, but these are good and I can’t make it […]

Youth in a Brooklyn Bar

Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]

The Solastalgia Will Come Out Tomorrow

I hate that I’m not writing every day. We talked about that during therapy. My therapist finds it disturbing as do I. I was just good and told myself I had to write before doing the Washington Post Crossword. I have to go shopping today and If I had started on the puzzle, I’d either […]

Idiot² Story

I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]
