Duck and Cover, I mean Knot and Tuck

I always seem to start by apologizing for not writing. The problem is that the more time I have to write the less I have to write about. I just came up with two thoughts; I can write about music I don’t hear live, and I can write about current events. Writing about my personal […]

A Tale of Two Tests

Ugh, it is one of those days I can’t get moving. I slept until 11, did my morning computer rituals, minus the most important, email, then fell asleep for an hour and a half with the computer on my lap. That’s because there are things I need to do; cleanup chores in the apartment and […]

Chuckles the Clown: Born in a Trunk, Died in a Trunk

One of the hardest things about being me is that often upon hearing of someone’s death I often think of something funny in response and have to restrain myself from saying it. This explains my love of Chuckles Bites the Dust. I suspect I’m not the only one that has this problem, at least I […]

Edentata

This morning was unusual; I did not wake up from uneasy dreams, though as per usual I did find myself transformed into a giant vermin. Don’t worry that goes away after my first cup of coffee. To be honest that was yesterday morning. As I was walking, I planned that opening, then for reasons unknown […]

Eggheads

Don’t let the next paragraph fool you, this is not a depressing entry. This year is getting off to a slow start. First, I stayed in bed until after 11 o’clock. I hate when I keep falling back asleep. It has become difficult for me to resist the comfort of not opening my eyes or […]

Then Quotidian Spider-Man

Yesterday was Tuesday and I finally did what I plan on doing every Tuesday, I went to the movies. Why? I have an AMC gift card and they give a discount on Tuesdays. They also give discounts for seniors and matinees. Even with the service fee it only cost $8.25. Given Omicron surge I had […]

J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!

Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in years; I went to a football game, Jets vs Jaguars. The Jets are awful. The Jags are awful. I’m not a big football fan. Why did I go? To hang out with Alan and give myself street cred as an American male. It took four trains to […]

Christmas with Good Vibrations

Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]
