A Tale of Two Idiots

I’m behind on my blogging so now I have lots to write about. I had been looking forward to Friday for months; South for Winter was playing at the Troubadour in New Jersey. Sure, that’s two hours from me but this is South for Winter, my favorite band. I’m a Snowbird, the name I came […]

A Major Award

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game; they played the Atlanta Braves. For once I didn’t leave late, I forwent my Donut Walk™ to make sure I got to Citi Field with time to spare. Even then I was not there as early as I would have liked, I figured I’d get my walking […]

I don’t know if I should file this under selfcare or self-harm. I didn’t take  my walk yesterday. I decided I needed a day not getting dressed. I went to the store a few blocks away but that did not involve getting dressed though I did put on sandals. I wore my lounging around the […]

Busy as a Me

It’s amazing how fast my life came back, in the last eight days I went to three concerts, a baseball game, and dinner with friends. I’m going to have to consider getting a monthly MetroCard. One argument against that is the temptation to take public transit to places I now walk to. I like walking […]

Swing and a Miss

Yesterday was another busy day. It started with going up to Harrison NY in Westchester for therapy. I walked from the train station to the hospital as the stupid Westchester bus runs only once an hour. I of course don’t mind that as I’m trying to walk every day. It was nice seeing my therapist […]

The Return of My Life

Live music’s back and Gordon got it. Yesterday was as Gordon a day as you can have; there is even an idiot story. The Kennedys did their first in person show in 16 months so I was there even though getting there and home again involved walking 7 miles. The show was at Rye Town […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]

Two to the Power of Six

Today is my birthday but I have nothing planned. Yesterday Carey and Barbara took me out to dinner at Junior’s for my birthday. I suspect that I have celebrated my birthday more often with Carey than with anyone else. I’ve known him since 1977. I screwed up and went to the wrong Juniors first, there’s […]

Who are the Lab Rats?

After two nights out I stayed home yesterday. That’s not true, I took my Donut Walk™; not only that it became a Donut/French Fry Walk™. Checkers gave everyone with their app a free large order of fries. Checkers is next to Krispy Kreme, I got two delicious fried foods for free. While the 3.8 miles  […]
