It just hit me that when I’m not writing about music and food I’m telling you idiot stories, tales of me being an idiot, or being the smartest guy in the room, tell My Gentle Readers about things I think many people don’t know or misunderstand. I’m comfortable with the latter when the subjects are […]
Give me the Al Gore environment award; I went the first day of the heat wave without using AC. My prewar building deserves some of the credit. I rushed to put the AC in the window and didn’t need it. By the time, the heat wave is over I’m sure I will. The building has […]
Going to a Met game is not supposed to be an all-day activity but yesterday it was. The Met-Phillies game started at 1:10. As happens too often I wanted to get there early but dilly-dallied for 20 minutes longer than I wanted to. That still gave me time to spare but when I ran out […]
Mea Culpa, I did not go out either yesterday or today. Last night I could have seen the wonderful Miwa Gemini do a porch show but the combination of the trip to Brooklyn and the Mets playing a doubleheader talked me out of it. Today there was nothing on my Radar and Jacob deGrom pitching […]
Yesterday was another post-pandemic first. I traveled to a concert that wasn’t in somebody’s yard or porch. I went into deep-dark New Jersey to see Richard Thompson and Zara Phillips. The show was in Woodbridge, and it took me over two hours to get there, subway, to Jersey Transit train, to a mile walk. I […]
This is the second day in a row I started writing before breakfast. Maybe I can get back in the habit. Since I started walking regularly people keep saying things like “I bet you are feeling better now.” The answer is no, I feel worse. One benefit of being sessile for a year is that […]
Yesterday was amazing, the sun coming out after a storm, a feast after a fast, the weekend after a tough work week. It was part music festival and part family reunion. It was the Make Music Ditmas Park porch concert. I’ve been to porch concerts before, many last year, but this one was an event. […]
Today I’m writing while listening to the Met game; let’s see how that works out. I can tell this is one of those days I’m going to have to force myself to go out and take my walk. I also have to do laundry. Will I find the motivation? You’ll find out the day after […]
I have time for a short entry before I take my Donut Walk™. My posts are so varied, do you find that a problem? One day I’ll write a silly recounting of my day with self-deprecatory humor and the next a serious piece on punishment that asks you to rethink the issue. When we aren’t […]
I forgot to write yesterday, and I didn’t do anything interesting or even leave my apartment as penance I’m going to write the serious entry I had planned. As soon as it’s done I’ll go out to pick up prescriptions and take my Donut Walk™. I should have done both yesterday and lacked the will […]
