Those Were The Days

Let’s see if I can write this fast and get my day going. I’m behind schedule but I think it might be more important for my mental health to get back to writing before breakfast even if that means not eating breakfast until 12:30. I just had an idea and if I wait, I’ll probably […]

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 […]

Can’t We All Get Along Like Mac & Cheese

I’m giving myself a folk music break and listening to classical music while I write this. I’ve been trying to listen to as much new to me folk music as I can to find material for Gord’s Gold. The problem is that Ted Sturgeon was right, 90% of everything is crud. I often have the […]

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 […]

Getting Blacks Vaxxed

It’s Super Bowl Sunday. Does that mean I should write about football? No, it doesn’t. I got tired early last night, I thought of going to sleep before 11 PM. I didn’t because I wanted to record Gord’s Gold first. Why didn’t I record it then? It was too loud. I was waiting for things […]

You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry

This is better, my third day in a row writing. I’m getting back in the groove. Now I just have to get back to writing in the morning. I’ll give myself a pass today as I was on the phone until 2:44 AM. No, I’m not totally anal. I just looked at my phone’s call […]

Whose Lives Matter

I haven’t written in days so I will now even though it’s 7:09 and I haven’t had dinner, I haven’t talked to a friend today, and I’m way behind on writing postcards to voters in Georgia. I can’t let this dry spell go on a minute longer. Blogging is important to me I’ve made expeditions […]

The Show Went On

Yesterday was the first streamed edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. I was the one that suggested streaming to John and so I feel somewhat responsible for it, which leads to anxiety and self-doubt. A great load was taken off me when Rob Hinkal agreed to run the tech end. He’s great at that […]

Norm!

I want to write, I skipped yesterday. I didn’t just skip writing yesterday; I feel like I skipped the entire day. I was going to go shopping but never left the house. I was going to finish writing my final 20 postcards to send to voters who might no longer be registered to vote, and […]

The Exorcist

I never use drugs or drink. Why? Poutine. Huh? Remember I had a Crohn’s attack and feared it was from eating poutine. The night before last I couldn’t resist and had poutine again. I’m addicted, like an addict (Buffy reference). I didn’t get sick but there was a small amount of bloating the next day. […]
