The Good Old Day?

Today’s idiot story, I forgot to zip last night’s Gord’s Gold into one file then upload it to Mixcloud. It’s uploading now but that means it’s late. I promised people it would be up at noon, now it’s 2:03 PM. There’s ten minutes more to go. Since we cut the cable cord uploads go slowly. […]

Talking ‘Bout My Generation and Yours Too

I’m writing in the morning like I’m supposed to! How did that happen? especially on a day my alarm didn’t go off. Yesterday’s adventure was escorting my friends home from their cataract surgery. I like the way the hospital, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, works with escorts. The patients give the […]

Judge Not

I might have plans for today other than the Halloween Party, a new folk opera Tam Lin  by Fiona Gillespie and Elliot Cole. I wish I knew about this earlier, I just found out late last night. Fiona posted this picture on Facebook. How can you not want to see an opera based on the […]

Where did today go? Why didn’t I write earlier? Once again I’m caught in a spacetime vortex. Do these things happen to other people? Is this what happened to Amelia Earhart? Are they going to find her sitting at a computer saying, “Where did the last 84 years ago? Why did I get on this […]

Crime and Punishment

I forgot to write yesterday, and I didn’t do anything interesting or even leave my apartment as penance I’m going to write the serious entry I had planned. As soon as it’s done I’ll go out to pick up prescriptions and take my Donut Walk™. I should have done both yesterday and lacked the will […]

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 […]

Life Simple

I ended up not taking my Donut Walk™ yesterday. For the first time in a while, I made a conscious, stay-in-my-PJs day. For so long that was the norm the fact that now it’s a deliberate choice is a good thing, it felt like a luxury. I’m going out today for a house concert at […]

A Pair of Docs

Time is doing strange things; like Sandy Denny I ask, “Who knows where the time goes.” This is what comes of missing my Donut Walk™. The back pain has a lot to do with it but not all. The more I don’t go out the more difficult I find it to get myself moving. Yesterday […]

Snailmail

I forgot to write yesterday. That’s partially because I was good and worked on Gord’s Gold. The show is streamed on Tuesday night and I finished it last night. I beat my old record for early finish by more than 24 hours! I get good enough at this maybe I can expand to two hours […]

Borscht Belt Morality

I stayed in yesterday and never got dressed. The news is that’s news. It’s how I have spent most of the past year. I was going to go shopping but it was raining and decided to wait for today even though the bus only stops by my house on Sundays. As I won’t be taking […]
