I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

It’s only 10:23 and I’m starting to write! The small victories count, the lead to the big ones. How did Mr. Numbers Guy become so touchy feely? Easy they aren’t mutually exclusive.

I’ve become a waiter. I’m sitting here waiting for UPS to pick up my Amazon return, the one I waited all day yesterday for them to pick up, and I’m waiting for someone at the Bronx office of the NYC board of elections to talk to me about my missing absentee ballot. I’ve been waiting […]
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 […]
I’m getting too comfortable posting every other day. As soon as I started writing this I was called on to help someone set up a streaming festival. Yes, it’s why I created Social Distancing Streaming Concerts, and I’m glad to do it, but the timing was bad. The person I’m talking to isn’t using my […]
A few weeks ago, I reserved a copy of A Storm of Swords, the third Song if Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones book. That was far to difficult to say. It’s HBO’s fault. If they had titled the TV series the same as the book series, Song of Ice and Fire, instead of […]
