Virtual Life

I’m being good and writing even though I’m not inspired to write. Being a pro means performing on demand. I once read in The Straight Dope that was the defining talent for male porn stars. I said “porn” so now more people will find this via googling. Back when I was on Diaryland I knew […]

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m immersing myself in Christmas Music. That’s what happens when you want to do a holiday album show for Folk Music Notebook. I’m listening to RUNA‘s new one, The Tide of Winter as I write this. I will give it a full concentration listen later. Then I have to the scary […]

Girding My Loins

I decided it’s better to write late than never. Instead of following blogging with breakfast I’ll follow it with dinner. Of course, that means I have to decide what I’m going to write about. I could write about Trump pardoning Flynn but there is no point. Nobody needs me to tell them how wrong that […]

Filled with Sound and Fury

Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. I have not blogged in days. I’ve been doing much better in getting things done but slipped up on this. How many days has it been? Three days! I’m confessing to not going to confession. That’s nice and meta and part of my penance. I will now […]

Beauty is in the Eye

Another day another complaint that I’m writing too late in the day. What’s worse is that I skipped yesterday. Now I have to go deep into my memory banks to remember what I wanted to write about. I did write  yesterday, my Gord’s Gold about Barnaby Bright. Gord’s Gold is unfair. I only write about […]

GI Bill of Health

I’m getting a ridiculously late start writing today. Yesterday is no longer fresh in my mind but I’ll do my best to remember it. If I forget about it let’s blame it on the meds. It has nothing to do with the meds, but I was told I can get away with saying that. Yesterday […]

Let’s see if I can recreate the passion that I felt when I was planning this blog yesterday. I was out for a walk and inspiration was flowing through me. I got home and got tired and took a nap. This is the story the current state of my psyche. I’ll try to work up […]

Halloweening

I made a last-minute call and celebrated Halloween. It was a literal call, I called Katherine Friday night and asked if she wanted to show me the “Halloween House” the next day. This Halloween House is not a commercial venture, it’s a private home in Ditmas Park that takes the holiday very seriously. I don’t […]

Hope and Audacity

I ended up sleeping much of the afternoon. I hate when that happens. I have to get better about going to sleep when I go to bed. That means not playing on my phone until 1 AM. Bad habits are hard to break. That should be a comedy about nuns. Despite that I’m feeling like […]

It’s Not Politics

Yesterday I found buried treasure, shaved beef at the bottom of the meat bin in the freezer. I dug for it because I suspected it might be there. That meant I had Philadelphia cheesesteak for dinner. I had to improvise as I had no hero rolls, I substituted a mini-naan. It looked something like a […]
