Best Albums of 2019

Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]

Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty

I stayed home yesterday and somehow managed to not do my laundry. That takes true procrastination talent. It was one of those days that I fell asleep in the afternoon and had no energy. I do not like those days. It could well be a manifestation of depression. I sometimes think my brain makes up […]

Perfect Game

My sleep cycle is on the way to be reset to where I want it. This morning I awoke on my own ten minutes before my alarm went off. It took me too long to fall asleep last night so I’m somewhat sleep deprived but one day of that should fix things. Going out in […]

Today didn’t start well, I got a call from my therapist, she has to cancel today’s session. I could just blog what I wanted to talk about. Do all of you promise therapist-patient confidentiality? I trust you but I think I better not rely on it. I’m often proud of my cooking. Yesterday I tried […]

Bonus Point For Monkey

Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]

I’m going to continue my discussion of the Mets after a brief account of my day. I saw my gastroenterologist today. I’m not down to routine visits every five or six months. I asked her about the problems I had last week, and she suspects food poisoning. Makes sense to me. I’m back to a […]

The baseball season ended yesterday so it’s a good day to discuss the national pastime. I’ll start with the Mets. I might end with the Mets too. There might be nothing but the Mets. It depends on how much I have to say. FiveThirtyEight’s preseason prediction for the Mets was 84—78, they finished at 86 […]

What’s Important?

Last night I went to the Met game. I finally go to see the team’s best pitcher and player, Jacob deGrom. The Mets don’t score much for deGrom, which is just luck, he’s a good hitter so you’d expect them to score more. That held up yesterday, the Metropolitans scored but three runs, good thing […]

Almost Van Dyke Parks

My plan was to spend yesterday reading and watching Dark Crystal and the Mets. Then I looked outside, saw it was a beautiful day and I decided to take a walk, get some exercise, and be out in nature. I scheduled enough time to walk to Van Cortlandt Park and walk a short way into […]
