No Depression

I have not been writing because I have not been having adventures. That is not a good excuse. Days without adventures are days to write about thoughts. Those are supposed to be most important entries. It’s late, I don’t think I’m up to thoughts. I could write a potpourri, at least that’s the way I’ll […]

Rockwood to Remedy

I still have to will myself to write. I know it’s worth the effort, but I wish I didn’t have to make it. Today I’m doing something new, I’m writing while watching the US Open. I used to watch lots of tennis then somehow, I stopped. I watched some of Wimbledon. I root for Americans […]

Steak and Sarah Jarosz

Sorry I missed blogging for a few days. I’m still working my way back into it. I have to get over an anxiety hump every time I start. Initiating action is perhaps my leading cause of anxiety. That’s been true most of my life. It’s true of things I hate to do and things I […]

Accentuate the Positive

It’s 8:03 PM on a day I had no plans and I’m just starting to blog. That’s not good. Now I have to squeeze it in before the Met game. Yesterday’s adventure was my first walk to Aldi in ages. I used to do this weekly. It’s 2.94 miles away. That’s not too impressive but […]

Walk-Off!

I’m trying something new, writing while watching the Democratic National Convention. I’m not sure why I’m watching, I dislike political speechifying. I like the way I put it yesterday, It’s pretty much the same thing as a high school pep rally. I don’t need help getting psyched for this election. I’m going to a virtual […]

From Ball Park to Bronx Park

The Mets were losing 7-1 so I turned it off and switched to the Democratic Convention. A few minutes there reminded me of what I always knew, political conventions are just high school pep rally with better guests. The silver lining to this cloud is that I now I have an opportunity and motive to […]

Weird

I’m sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. I’m having issues with internal clock, instead of sleeping through the night, I try and catch up during the day. That does not work. Today I went to a 12 Noon Met game which meant leaving here at 10:00. Sadly, I got there too late to get the giveaway […]

A Charming Disaster in the Land of the Shadow

Am I making a mistake? Now that I’m back to blogging people are going to begin to expect it. At least today is easy, I did something fun yesterday, I went to see Charming Disaster at a new venue, Umbra in Bushwick. Umbra means shadow so it’s an appropriate place for a Goth Folk band […]

The Mets Should Hire Me

I’m doing it, I’m posting every day! Technically I didn’t blog Wednesday as it posted it after midnight, but that’s now how people think. Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game. Notice it’s “Met” singular. That is standard usage in New York. I understand that it sounds odd to people in other parts of […]

Journey Through Ithilien

Yesterday I took a trip to Ithilien, the Garden of Gondor, where Frodo and Sam ate herbs and stewed rabbit and met Faramir. That’s how I always think of the New York Botanical Garden; when I walk through the gate I become a hobbit. The NYBG is just a short walk from my house but […]
