Horvendile In A Roman Field

I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]

Alex Battling Depression

We’ve been having midterms and I’ve had trouble finding the time to write. What exciting things have happened? On Friday night I went to see Alex Battle at Sunny’s at the other end of the universe, aka Red Hook. It takes an hour and a half to get there. I had never seen Alex but […]

The deGromitable Polar Bear

I’ll start with the easy stuff. I went to last night’s Mets game against Colorado. I had a choice of games and chose this one because the greatest pitcher on the planet, Jacob deGrom was pitching. If I could I’d see every deGrom start. Each one can be a gem. Jake only retired the first […]

4D Acres and a Mule

This week is off to a good start. Sunday night The Mets beat the Padres 8-5, breaking out of their scoring slump. They did this to make me look brilliant; Met manager Buck Showalter finally took my advice and started Guillorme over the totally hapless Escobar and inserted the newest Met, Vogelbach in as DH. […]

Roe v Fish Eggs

I’m out of the habit of writing. I must get back into it. This should have been written this morning. I have so many things on my mind. The problem is that I’m mentally sharp and it’s hard to keep things balanced on anything that comes to a point. One project that took some time […]

The Men Not Behind the Mask

Therapy was canceled today, that’s not a good thing. You know what else is not good? I didn’t go to last night’s Met game because the MTA asked people to avoid all unnecessary travel as they tried to recover from the storm. It was a beautiful day. I would have loved to go, the Mets […]

My Gut: literal and figurative

Guess who is having another intestinal obstruction episode? Come on guess. Nobody? It’s me. I woke up feeling fine. I was hungry and ready to eat. I got up, stopped at the bathroom, and boom, it hit me. It’s relatively mild but it’s still there. As this is two weeks in a row I think […]

Donuts and Breathing: The keys to Health

I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]

Fast Recovery

Yesterday did not go well; I slept through much of it. That hasn’t happened since I started taking my Donut Walks™. I should have forced myself to go on the walk early but didn’t because I was expecting a delivery from Amazon. The irony is that it was my new French press; indirectly coffee was […]

On Your Cpl O’Reilly

Greetings music lovers; that’s John Platt’s signature phrase and last night was John Platt’s On Your Radar so I’m using it. I’m debating continuing welcoming My Gentle Listeners on Gord’s Gold. I will never abandon My Gentle Readers. Later last night, 11 PM EST, Gord’s Gold was live on Folk Music Notebook. The archive at […]
