Braving the Mets

Every day I have the urge to start Wise Madness with. “Good morning campers! And then go into Tommy’s Holiday Camp. This is the closest I’ve come to doing it. Last night I went to the Mets – Braves game at Citi Field. The Mets are in the midst of their worst stretch of the […]

Please Don’t Make Me Too Happy

The muse is silent this morning so I decided to not blog this morning. Then I realized that was something to write about. My inspiration is being uninspired. It doesn’t help that yesterday I made a conscious decision to not leave the house. It meant not getting exercise, and I’ve been trying to walk to […]

Two-Time Loser

Fridays always start the same, I go to therapy. The highlight of the session was when my therapist said I was a “a little bit of a sociopath.” She then added, “You’re going to put that in your blog, aren’t you?” I can’t disappoint us. I have an unusual relationship with my therapist. I think […]

Poutine with Chick Gravy

Last night I made an expedition to Fort Greene to see Carolann Solebello, Paul Sachs, and Karyn Oliver. It’s part of a new series that Carolann and Devlin (I write devil first every time) Miles are running at the Putnam’s Pub and Cooker; it’s called Live From the Vault Songwriter’s Sessions. As a bonus I […]

Dog Bites Man

Here’s the headline right up there with dog bites man. I’m an idiot. Yesterday I had a 10:45 appointment with my ophthalmologist. It’s only 10 minutes away so easy to time. I was proud of myself as I signed in at exactly 10:45. There’s always a wait after you sign as they retrieve your records. […]

Peggy Carter and the Batnoses

I spent another boring day in the apartment. My surgically repaired guts think that was a good decision and I’m letting them have their way. My arthritic back is still not satisfied. I should get up and use the heating pad. There’s just one flaw in that plan, it means getting up. It didn’t! The […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Mediocre

I did not leave the house yesterday. While I always enjoy a day like that now and then this was more of a concession to my recovery from surgery. I’m tempted to say it had benefits; that the level of discomfort in my abdomen decreased significantly. I have to remind myself that such self-reporting is […]

I’m Alive

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the surgeon. As a change of pace the trip there went smoothly. I had no long waits for the train or bus and both had clear sailing. That meant I arrived at the office early. There are two possible directions the nurse can come from to get me; they are […]

The Great Citi Field Expedition

Last night I had the longest outing since my surgery; I went to the Mets – Nationals game. My body held up pretty well. I’m far from full strength but I can get by. As part of the Mets’ poor treatment of fans they now won’t allow backpacks at Citi Field. No explanation was given […]

Apocalypse Now

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday, I didn’t have time in the morning, at least after I fell back to sleep for an hour and a half. But yesterday I was busy; I saw Avengers: Endgame and The Mets play the Reds. I’m going to have to talk about Game of Thrones too. Looking at the […]
