Wise MadnessYesterday I met my grandniece Joanie, the daughter of my nephew Max and his wife Caila. It’s been seven months because they live in LA. Max is East visiting his folks. I couldn’t make it when he was in New York with my sister Alison so yesterday I went up to Pleasantville where we met […]
My plan was to spend yesterday reading and watching Dark Crystal and the Mets. Then I looked outside, saw it was a beautiful day and I decided to take a walk, get some exercise, and be out in nature. I scheduled enough time to walk to Van Cortlandt Park and walk a short way into […]
Here’s the lede. I’m an idiot. This is not an idiot story. It’s the reason I often call myself an idiot; it’s because I want to make clear to people, and especially myself, that I recognize my mental glitches. I find it annoying when people make a mistake and instead of being embarrassed about it, […]
I’ve become a late in the day blogger. I prefer writing in the morning because I think that’s easier for My Gentle Readers. Don’t blame me, blame my friends that have eaten into my blogging time. Yesterday Bri called me, today I met Carolyn for lunch. I wouldn’t normally want to blame my friends but […]
How much do I love My Gentle Readers? I didn’t get enough sleep last night and now I’m fighting to stay awake. Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance is beckoning me on Netflix. But I can’t sleep or get immersed in Dark Crystal until I blog. Right after I wrote that sentence I fell asleep. […]
I gave myself three homework assignments yesterday, take a walk, record an edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook and read an honest-to-god book printed on honest-to-god paper. I didn’t take the walk, the weather was bad, but I did the other two. The artist I covered was Rod Picott. He has a new […]
I had an insight yesterday, something I wanted to share with you. I’m also an idiot so forgot it. It will probably come to me as soon as I post this and then I’ll forget it again tomorrow. I was going to say that it’s not easy not having a brain, but the whole point […]
I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]
I seriously considered not writing today but then I thought about My Gentle Readers and decided that I can’t disappoint you. I have an idiot story, I’m just not sure who the idiot is. I just double checked. I am not the idiot. It was somebody at the New York Times. I read this article, […]
The reason I didn’t blog yesterday is that I’m an idiot. I had Word open and was about to write when I got a text from Bri, asking me about parking at Allison’s house. That’s when I realized it was Thursday and I was supposed to be boarding a bus to New Jersey at that […]
