Wise Madness
I spent much of Friday planning then replanning, then rereplanning Gord’s Gold. I didn’t finish until tonight. I’ve more meticulous about the show’s timing. I now try hard to have been 54 and 55 minutes of music. On the bright side I have an entire set already organized for next week. I have 655 songs […]
Yesterday I had my first appointment with a primary care physician in longer than I can remember. I haven’t avoided it; I didn’t have insurance then COVID-19 hit and couldn’t find a recommended doctor who would accept a new patient. I finally gave up and let the Montefiore Hospital system, the system I go to […]
On Wednesday I went to Coney Island to see the Brooklyn Cyclones play the Greensboro Grasshoppers at the Cyclones beautiful Maimonides Park. The only reason I remember the corporate name is that my friend practiced at Maimonides Hospital for years and it’s where my mother was born. Is it odd that a hospital is a […]
Now on to Sunday at The New Bedford Folk Festival. We started with breakfast at a Latin American café. As a good Jew I had the Cuban Sunrise Tortilla, slow-cooked pork shoulder, fried ham, fried egg, and Monterey Jack cheese and of course coffee. Life begins with the first cup of coffee. We got an […]
I spent the weekend at the New Bedford Folk Festival. Saturday started early; Mike picked me up at 6 AM. Sure I did that to work the election and when I volunteer at WFUV, but my body will always object. We talked about stopping at the Dunkin’ Donuts at my house so I didn’t even […]
Good morning campers! Last night I went to see Dar Williams at City Winery; life is returning to normal. I’m even getting my commuting mojo back. I wasn’t going to eat there and had a reserved seat, so I forced myself to not plan on getting there an hour early. That takes an effort on […]
Monday’s adventure was a quest for a working microphone. Starting Sunday night, I got error messages when I plugged mine into the computer. It said that the USB was drawing more power than was available. I tried every USB port on the computer and the same thing happened. I crowdsourced a solution and found two […]
In the Bronx, July 4, 2022 The unanimous Declaration of me, When in the course of human events it is the fourth of July, it become necessary for me to acknowledge Independence Day in my blog. I know that this is a difficult time, and some find it difficult to celebrate America in light of […]
It’s taken me a long time but at least I’m writing today. I’ve been in a weird social space. Since I got together with so many friends on Wednesday I have not spoken to a soul since until today and that was talking to strangers. I have not left the house much either except to […]
I’m still having trouble writing but that’s more reason to write today especially as I did not leave the house. I’ll start off easy, talking about things I did. Back on Tuesday I worked the polls on Primary Election Day. That was a long day. I had to be there at 5 AM and I […]
