A Major Award

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game; they played the Atlanta Braves. For once I didn’t leave late, I forwent my Donut Walk™ to make sure I got to Citi Field with time to spare. Even then I was not there as early as I would have liked, I figured I’d get my walking […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]

The Irish are Now in Session

I’m back! I heard live music two nights in a row! Last night I went to Mary O’s for their Thursday night Irish Session. I tried to go to last week’s Thursday night Irish Session, but I had a flaw in my plan, it was Friday. The devil is in the details. Sadly, that means […]

Another Tale Told by an Idiot

Good news, you get to read an idiot story. Until the Wise Madness market research department tells me otherwise, I will assume that the thing My Gentle Readers most want to read about is me being an idiot. My supervisor agrees. She also supervisors the production of Gord’s Gold. I don’t mind the supervision, I […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Today I’m writing while listening to the Met game; let’s see how that works out. I can tell this is one of those days I’m going to have to force myself to go out and take my walk. I also have to do laundry. Will I find the motivation? You’ll find out the day after […]

I’d Walk Five Miles for Pub Fries

I left the  house yesterday! After two days inside I needed a longer walk, Krispy Kreme wouldn’t suffice. Instead of a Donut Walk™ I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ and grocery shopping trip. A week and a half ago I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ because Wendy’s had an offer on the app […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]

A Dinner with a View

Yesterday was Friday so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle at Wagner Park. This made four weeks in a row and I still get a kick out of each one. I changed it up by leaving earlier and walking down from the Broadway Lafayette station. I was going to precede it with my donut […]

Swedish Meatball in the Rabbit Hole

Today I’m going to do something I used to do often, write about the random rabbit hole my mind went down when thinking about something completely different. It’s how I spend a great deal of my life, now matter what else I seem to be doing. The path to this rabbit hole started with last […]
