Alan LX

Living in the Bronx means taking a trek most days. Yesterday’s was an extra long one to Greenvale Long Island. What would bring me out to that suburban backwater? Alan’s surprise 60th birthday party. I had tickets to see Vienna Teng and Jean Rohe was doing a co-bill with Rachael Kilgore but they’ll all play […]

Baseball and Slambovian Time

I did not think I’d have time to write this morning. I’m helping decorate Irvington Town Hall for the Grand Slambovians annual Halloween show. I was told to be there at 12:16, meaning I had to leave at 11:00 and I was up late because of the World Series. I got a text this morning […]

Take This With a Grain of Salt

I hate the circadian cycle I’m suck in. it’s 3:46 PM and I’m just now starting to write. I found myself awake at 2:30 last night for no good reason. I woke up at 6:30, went to the bathroom and back to bed. My alarm woke me at 8:30, I got out of bed, but […]

The Deal of the Art

I’m back to writing every day, it would be nice if I had something to write about. I have been feeling under the weather and spent my first free day after the WFUV member drive not moving. My plan was to not leave the apartment and not even get dressed. My plan succeeded. My health […]

Hanneke? It isn’t even Halloween!

I’m sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]

The Wright Stuff

My eyes aren’t glowing and I’m not glowering. I’m not going to preach and I’m not going to tell you what you’re doing and thinking wrong. I look at my Facebook feed and see fear and despair. That calls for a thanksgiving and hope edition of Wise Madness. I’m not even going to tell you […]

John Adams

I missed a day blogging and now I have to catch up. Last night I felt like I had enough for a book; this morning I’m feeling less inspired. That’s a problem as what I wanted to write about was feeling inspired. Life is not linear. I’ll start with something simple. I went to the […]

MRI Discus Politics and Baseball

I never got dressed yesterday so writing about my day is simple. I blogged. I walked down the block to the supermarket to get milk and eggs, and I finished watching Iron Fist This might cost me all my street cred but I loved season 2. It left so many threads dangling that I can’t […]

Party in Brooklyn

I better get on this. I have to get out and see the psychiatrist today. I did something different, I ate breakfast before writing. Let’s see how I do with a tummy full of bacon. I was born and lived most of my life in Queens. I now live in the Bronx. My dream was […]

D Train! D Train!

I don’t have that much time so I’m going to blast away and write about yesterday without much thought and see how that works out. If it’s short it’s short. I have therapy on Fridays at 2:45; I usually schedule my psychiatrist appointments immediately afterward but that means I’m often rushed going to whatever my […]
