A Matter of Life and Life

My main topic today is the leaked Supreme Court decision on abortion, but I went to the Met game so will start with what I know best. My beloved Mets played a rare weekday day game yesterday versus the Atlanta Braves. Everything went perfectly … except for the game. I had my fastest commute to […]

Ziggy Did Not Play Keytar

On Sunday I went to my second Met game of the season. Horror of horrors, because of a train delay I missed first pitch. On the plus side I remembered to bring my own food, a ham and cheese hero and popcorn. Popcorn is my official baseball game snack food. I’m not sure what would […]

Medieval Times

There’s nothing like seeing a musical act for the first time and falling in love. That happened last night, I saw Alkemie, Medieval Musical Ensemble. Which of My Gentle Readers knew this is the kind of thing I love? Which of you love it too? The only reason I knew about it is that Fiona […]

Movers and Shakers

A friend commended me for maintaining this blog for over 20 years. I am unhappy as I am missing too many days. That being said I’ll tell a tale of my adventures. Having an extra day helps me to tie up a loose end. On Wednesday I helped my friend David move. We were joined […]

Much of My Character

I had no adventures yesterday; I did not even leave the house. That’s bad. I need to get back to walking three miles a day. It is so strange, I don’t even particularly like Krispy Kreme’s glazed donuts but a free one motivated me to walk every day. I need the goal. I get 100 […]

Uncommon Ground

It is so much easier to blog when I have actual adventures. Yesterday I ventured up to the frozen tundra of Dobbs Ferry to see the Mark Erelli and Abbie Gardner at the Common Ground Coffeehouse’s temporary home at the South Presbyterian Church. I’m the official “cute merch guy”. We have it down to a […]

Shopping Cart of Love

How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]

Molto Vivace

I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]

I Never Passover Seeing Christine Lavin

I’m tired but I’ll write even before I eat dinner. Life is returning to normal. Yesterday I went to my first seder since the before times. I made what will hopefully once again be my annual trek to Norwalk Connecticut to celebrate Pesach with my once-a-year family. This year was a bit weird, as we […]

Odd Man Out

I should have written this morning, late is better than nothing but need brooks no delay? Can anyone identify where that quote is from? Part of how my brain works is that I have trouble remembering many things but others the path to some memories are so well-worn that I can access them instantly. I […]
