Merry Christmas from the Jewish Atheist

It’s Christmas day so I better write this now or I will have to save it until next year. It’s not going to be my usual “Peace on Earth and goodwill to men” Christmas blog. It is also not going to be a cynical bah humbug blog. I can’t do that as I am filled […]

Meet “Meet John Doe”

I have a week off from school that means I should be blogging daily. Let’s see if I will. I’m going through the nominees for my most exciting albums of 2022 edition of Gord’s Gold. I decided that’s the way to phrase it, the albums that excited me the most. That fits in with my […]

Shall Thyself Find Blessing

Greetings My Gentle Readers and all the ships at sea. I’ve returned from the dead. Fine, I wasn’t dead, I was just very sore and lacking in time and energy. Now I’m just a little sore, have some time, and have 32 oz of coffee energy in me. That should be wearing off but I’m […]

Deni Bonet Via ChatGPT

I’m not sure if I’ll have time to write today so I asked ChatGPT to write about Deni Bonet’s concert last night in my style. This is what it came up with. She was not joined by young musicians other than her usual bandmate Chris Flynn. The rest was written by Chat GPT. Last night, […]

Three Shows

I’m back! My shoulder and back are still sore but I am going to try and write today because I’ve been busy and want to catch up. Writing is good for my soul. I was going to write that writing is good for my mental health which seems more fitting for an anti-mystic rationalist. The […]

Sling Shot

I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]

Civics Lesson

I have a meeting in an hour. Let’s see if I can get something written by then. What exciting things did I do yesterday? Nothing. I even made a cheater dinner, a frozen Jamaican Spicy Beef Patty. I don’t buy prepared foods anymore, not for years, but these are good and I can’t make it […]

The 800 lbs Gorilla in the Room

How exciting, the reset of the default font really works. I use Georgie 14, the closest thing available to the Book Antiqua I use on Word. I change my desktop image several times a week but when it comes to my tools I’m a stuck-in-the-mud. It took a long time for me to find what […]

Me 1 – Windows Media Player 0

Huzzah, I finally figured out how to change the default text on Google Docs. There are some unintuitive steps. That’s a good way to start today’s blog as I’m going to write about how I finally figured out how to fix my Windows Media Player. I had been keeping all my music on OneDrive. The […]

Horvendile In A Roman Field

I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]
