Ned Moore, aka gigoid, is a 61 year old retired dilettante, who would rather read than eat most days. His first blog, Gigoid’s Folly, has been emailed out to folks he knows for about 10 years now. He considers it his best defense against angst. Due to curmudgeon training requirements, he is a reluctant newbie on Facebook and Twitter.

    • Scott……hey, thanks, that’s great! That will really help my readership, so I really appreciate it. One of these days, I’ll figure out how to get some of those extras gizmos & widgets on my page. Meantime, I’ll just keep posting every day, and hope folks continue to like it. I’m glad you do, and I hope I can continue to capture your, and others, interest. Thanks again….

      Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

    • Dolly….Thanks very much! It’s nice to hear my work is appreciated, especially from a blogger as talented as you. I’ve reblogged a couple of your posts, just because they felt so good, and though I don’t take part, I really enjoy the Art Game (I’m not very skilled with PhotoShop yet). I hope you continue to enjoy my blog…..you take care…..

    • If by prolific you mean long-winded, that’s me! :-) Cats, dogs, and just about any other creature with more than two legs used for locomotion; they’re all better company than most people I know…. you’re welcome; I did so because I liked what I read, so well met, and I hope you continue to enjoy my posts. Take care out there….

    • I promise I’m not a Dittohead, but, ditto; a pleasure to meet you. I like your little “about” paragraph a lot; honest and honorable without being rigid; Yay for Buddha, yes? Not a joke at all; it has to have helped you stay sane. I’m not, sane that is, so I admire those who are…. :-) I do look forward to further dialogue…. see you around t the comment sections…..

    • MaryRose….thanks, glad you’re liking my work….I’m always happy to meet new readers, and find new great sites for my consumption (voracious, as you may have guessed…) You take care, too, and Blessed Be… see you around the Comment sections….

    • Oops! Sorry, I thought this comment was on a different post; I can’t get to a lot of sites right now; technical problems WP doesn’t seem to want to deal with yet, so I didn’t realize which post this was from…. but the thanks still applies!…. :-)

  12. Gigiod your writing is so complete. I love it! I have more than a little serious streak in myself that resonates with your feelings on the world situation and especially as to power, greed and politics. But you also always bring a smile to my face to lighten my serious streak. I much appreciate that!! I love quotes myself and love the ones you post and even more so your comments on them. Read just about everything you have written up to now and you never disappoint. Thanks for brightening my day…everyday. Blessings to you my Friend

    • Well, now I’m blushing!… Thanks for the kind words… I’m glad I can bring a smile with all the heavy shit I send out, it shows I’m staying in balance, which as we know, is key, to just about everything… and if I don’t laugh, I end up in tears a lot, what with the current state of the planet and all.

      It’s important to remember, I think, that our ability to experience joy is exactly counter-balanced with our capacity to endure pain, and to try to reflect the irony of that aspect of reality in what we write… it’s nice to hear that someone of your talent and depth appreciates my work; it adds to the tinglies… you take care, & Blessed Be…. :-)

    • Onidamerlyn…. well, thank you; it’s nice of you to say so… but, old as I admit to getting (a bit), I’m still just another student on the path… it is nice, at the kung fu school functions I go to now and then, to be senior enough to not be expected to join the other junior students in eating all the leftover food, to honor the teacher and the innkeeper/host with empty dishes…. but it will be a long time, if ever, before anyone calls me sifu…. now, at being silly, I admit to being pretty advanced; I did raise a daughter, and it’s part of the job description to be silly for one’s daughter…. ;-) Take care out there….

    • No worries, mate… you’re welcome… as a policy, I always go to at least look at any new reader’s sites, as I am an addict of words in a line. If I like what I see, I tend to follow, so be sure I liked what I saw, and that I look forward to seeing anything new you post…. I’m glad you enjoyed my spew for today; come on back any time. I post at least once a day, so there is always something to chew on here…. thanks for stopping in… take care, & Blessed Be….

    • Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed whatever you read here… I post every day at least once, so come on down any time, it’s always a party… so to speak,but, without the balloons and cake…. :-)

      Always nice to hear from new readers… I’ll get by your site soon to check it out too; I’m a word addict, so unless I see something on my very small list of stuff I “don’t do” (matter of fact, can’t recall if there is anything on the list at all….) I’ll see what you do, too… again, thanks for stopping in, and well-met!

  21. Thank you so much for following my blog and thank you for your kind comment. Marcus Aurelius is one of my biggest heroes..great man who will live on. I’m sorry if you had difficulties to read my post because of the new font. Blog text should be easy to read, so i guess it’s better if i change it back as it was. Have a good day!

    Greetings from Finland :-)

    • Maarit~Johanna…. :-) Cool, I think you are my first reader from Finland, so welcome, welcome indeed…. and thanks for listening, and for changing the font… the Gothic lettering, or whatever it was, has a very attractive, bold look to it, but I guess my eyes just too old to read it easily…. Salutations from Northern California :-) See you around the comments sections….

    • :-) Thanks! I’m honored, sincerely. Your timing, however, is unfortunate…. I am at this moment starting the process of moving, about to pick up the first box… and will be doing that a lot for the next three days, one box at a time, so I don’t end up in excruciating, debilitating pain…. but, I won’t forget this, and will try to get to it next week… I will be lucky to get a Pearl done after Friday morning, when I plan to move the computer…. Thanks again, and Blessed Be…..

  24. Hi Ned, I am new to your blog and find it very interesting. I can relate to your saying you are addicted to words – me too. I figure, an addiction like this is not a negative thing: no hangovers, extra calories, etc. etc. Hope this finds you well.
