Reading Spectrum

Late afternoon entries are becoming the new norm. I don’t like the new norm. I’m the one doing the writing so I should be able to do something about it. Too bad it doesn’t work that way. Yesterday I went to the library. I discovered that I couldn’t put an online hold on A Storm […]

How Do You Do …

I found something that helps with writer’s block, writing. They key is that as I had trouble writing Wise Madness I wrote a Gord’s Gold. I’ve been having trouble writing that too; but using it as a substitute for blogging opened the creative gates. It’s all about my mind fooling my mind. I need to […]

Roberttown, Bobtown to Their Friends

Yesterday had all the same elements as Saturday minus the idiot story, there was great music, great friends, and great food. There were also transit problems, but not for me. The music was by Bobtown, the friends were the members of Bobtown, Carolann, Allison, Bev, Fred, Shelley, David, Perry & Beth, repeats from Saturday, and […]

The Adventures of Ryanhood and Sophie’s Choice

Today you get rewarded with tales of not just music and friends but an idiot story; it must be sweeps week. Last night I headed out to the wilds of Teaneck NJ to see Ryanhood and Sophie Buskin at Ethical Brew. It’s not that difficult to get to, two subways and a bus that drops […]

The Renaissance of Renaissance

I have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]

Horvendile’s Guide to Life

I tried writing yesterday and didn’t succeed. I’ve been doing this for almost 19 years and that has not happened often. I’m having issues that are making writing difficult. I’ll feel better if I write so I’ll try again. I get so frustrated at anti-intellectualism. Someone on a Mets group posted this, “The 1969 Mets […]

Shouldn’t it be On Your Sonar?

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The performers were Our Band, Terry Klein, and Kate Callahan. I’m being good today and including all the links. I’ve been slacking off and only giving links when I have macros to insert them. It was not just the […]

Righteousness

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I always have things to write about, there’s a constant stream of ideas in my head, but often they move to fast for me to catch. When it comes to politics one problem is deciding on my audience. The reality is that most of My Gentle Readers broadly agree with […]

Bonus Point For Monkey

Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]

S.H.I.E.L.D

I have important things bubbling in my head, both political and personal. I don’t feel up to writing about them today. I’m tired and I don’t have that much time. So, I’ll write about something fun, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’ve been rewatching the entire series, and I love it more on the second, sometimes third […]
