Call Me Little Boy Blue

I’m here at home without TV, both TV sets are on the fritz. So why aren’t I writing? Despite all my therapy the imp of the perverse still has power over me; albeit less power than he had before therapy. Until I was 16, I thought albeit was pronounced all-bate and that there was an […]

The Greatest Gift

I am going to get out of shape, I haven’t taken a walk in a week. I planned on one yesterday, but I had a video doctor’s appointment. If it was in person, I’d have walked one way. It was video because my doctor was sick. I feel bad, I disappointed him. He’s been talking […]

The Return of Common Ground

I had another pre-pandemic typical day. Yesterday’s adventure was going to Common Ground Coffeehouse to see The Murphy Beds. Even though they are a pain for the carless to get to shows at Common Ground are home games; I’m one of the volunteers. It helps that Carter’s taste is the closest to mine of any […]

A Tale of Two Idiots

I’m behind on my blogging so now I have lots to write about. I had been looking forward to Friday for months; South for Winter was playing at the Troubadour in New Jersey. Sure, that’s two hours from me but this is South for Winter, my favorite band. I’m a Snowbird, the name I came […]

Idiot X 3

It just hit me that when I’m not writing about music and food I’m telling you idiot stories, tales of me being an idiot, or being the smartest guy in the room, tell My Gentle Readers about things I think many people don’t know or misunderstand. I’m comfortable with the latter when the subjects are […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Today I’m writing while listening to the Met game; let’s see how that works out. I can tell this is one of those days I’m going to have to force myself to go out and take my walk. I also have to do laundry. Will I find the motivation? You’ll find out the day after […]

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 […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]

Lucky Charm

Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]

The Singing Idiot

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Do you think EL&P would work on Gord’s Gold? I will take that dirty look as a no. Do I have Gentle Readers that have no idea what I’m talking about? It’s the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer song Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression Part 2. […]
