Vote for Me! I Like Good Music

Today’s blog is going to be the playlist of songs to be played at my presidential campaign rallies. I haven’t registered as a candidate, I have made no formal announcement of running, have no staff, and no funds, but I figured that the music was a good place to start planning my campaign. Everything else […]

Hail to the King and the Mahatma

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I left the house yesterday, that will make things easier. For the first time I did what I consider my default Sunday plan, going to An Beal Bocht for their traditional Irish session. The easiest way to get there is walking but it’s a long walk, half an hour. I […]

Hurray for Mozart

I’m back to the August doldrums. After therapy I went home and watched the Mets lose. That’s my plan for tonight too, except for the game’s outcome. I got something done; I recorded two editions of Gord’s Gold, featuring Her Crooked Heart and Jean Rohe. I had already recorded Jean’s but that was before I […]

Unusual Minds

I have things to write about! I went out last night! I talked to friends! My totally involuntary August hiatus is sort of over. It’s not as my schedule is still light. At least today I don’t have to struggle to find something to write. Last night I went to Rockwood Music HallStage 3 for […]

Once Upon A Time in My Brain

I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]

Dazed and Infused

Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]

Cats (Not the Musical)

I’m going to pander today and write about cats. This would be even better if instead of cats I had members of the genus Ailuropoda; then I could pander about pandas. Now that I have the lede I can work my way into this. Sorry I didn’t write yesterday; I somehow didn’t have time before […]

The Right Man For the Job is a Woman

I want to talk about choosing a president. I’m going to go about it in a round about way, retracing my mental steps. It starts with baseball. Everything you need to know you can learn from baseball.

Ivers Got a Secret

I finally finished writing about Falcon Ridge so I can now move on to other things. After spending six days surrounded by friends I have been almost totally isolated since then. I spoke to Bri on the phone once and saw my therapist yesterday. I had enough Falcon Ridge glow that I didn’t feel that […]

Rock Me Goddess in the Gentle Arms of Eden

Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]
