Wise Madness
I’m out of coffee so I’m drinking hot chocolate with breakfast instead. I love the hot chocolate, but it does not have the caffeine kick. I fell asleep before I could write. Then in the middle of the afternoon I started writing. I got a little way in when Kathy told me that there was […]
I need to write, and I need to buy potatoes. I’ll write first as that does not require moving. I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday, the first time in a while. While we were on the phone the front doorbell rang. I shouted, “I’ll be right there I’m getting a mask.” As I […]
I’m feeling good about myself today. Yesterday I did some things that would be routine for most people but are a struggle for me. One was depositing a check; I didn’t just have my usual anxiety that comes with that, but I had trouble logging into my online bank account. That always sets my anxiety […]
I finished recording my 2020 albums show for Folk Music Notebook. It’s going to be played on Wednesday at noon and 6 PM EST. You don’t want to miss it. This is what everyone is going to be talking about at the water cooler on Thursday. Make that on Facebook; it has replaced the water […]
Until I can find a better way to do this I’m going to post Gord’s Gold’s Playlists as diary entries. Here is what I played on the 2020 Holiday Special. Song Artist Album White Christmas Erin Hill Christmas Harp Good King Wenceslas The Roches We Three Kings Quiet Christmas No Fuss and Feathers Traveling Circus […]
I don’t have COVID-19 but my Crohn’s disease got jealous of the attention COVID-19 was getting and decided to remind me who is boss. It’s manifesting itself primarily the way it did decades ago. I’m not in that much pain but I have no energy. I spent yesterday watching tv and napping. I didn’t even […]
I’m writing at 8:36 PM and I have not had coffee today. Let’s see if I can get anything done. Yesterday I got a message to check my COVID-19 Alert App. It told me that I had been exposed on Wednesday. I thought that meant the app waited all this time to tell me but […]
I’m finally getting around to writing. It looks like I’m taking today off. What does that even mean for me? It means avoiding all stress. Yesterday I had therapy. I had to deal with something I can’t talk about here. It doesn’t help that my next session is next year. The next two Fridays are […]
I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]
I spent the summer of 1973 at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, intensively studying psychology from a behaviorist perspective. It was an NSF program for high school students. I didn’t get the spot I wanted, studying physics at the Colorado School of Mines, then WMU offered me this spot. While I suspect I’d have preferred […]
