Accentuate the Positive

It’s 8:03 PM on a day I had no plans and I’m just starting to blog. That’s not good. Now I have to squeeze it in before the Met game. Yesterday’s adventure was my first walk to Aldi in ages. I used to do this weekly. It’s 2.94 miles away. That’s not too impressive but […]

Walk-Off!

I’m trying something new, writing while watching the Democratic National Convention. I’m not sure why I’m watching, I dislike political speechifying. I like the way I put it yesterday, It’s pretty much the same thing as a high school pep rally. I don’t need help getting psyched for this election. I’m going to a virtual […]

The Mets Should Hire Me

I’m doing it, I’m posting every day! Technically I didn’t blog Wednesday as it posted it after midnight, but that’s now how people think. Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game. Notice it’s “Met” singular. That is standard usage in New York. I understand that it sounds odd to people in other parts of […]

The Universe Likes Me

I am going to try and blog for the first time in months. Yesterday was my birthday, now that I am older and more mature, I might be up for it. I’m not going to be overly ambitious. I’ll stick to the highlights surrounding my birthday. First off, I care about my birthday, This is […]

Kaia than a Kite

I am burning the candle at both ends; let’s see how long I can keep this up. Last night, Dan and I went to see the incredible Kaia Kater at Cafe Wha in Greenwich Village. Before I got to the show I taught a full day of school, prepared the Facebook Event for On Your […]

Not Crossing the Line

I’m officially on spring break. After my wonderful Seder on Thursday and the Mets home opener on Friday I spent the weekend without leaving the apartment. Part of that was nice, part of that was a visit from my old friends, depression and anxiety. I was going to go to Aldi but found out that […]

An Essential Organ Everywhere All At Once

Captain’s Log Supplemental: I’m an idiot. I have said that often enough that it’s clearly not worth a supplementary log issue, but it explains why I need to make one. Yesterday I praised all the changes at Citi Field, and I neglected to mention the most important one. During the Seventh Inning Stretch Take Me […]

Two of the Best Days

I’ve had a busy 24 hours. I was supposed to go to the Mets home opener on Thursday and then directly to my Seder in Connecticut. The Mets postponed the game on Wednesday because of the possibility of bad weather. If you think that 75º and sunny is bad weather, then that forecast was accurate. […]

Gentile On My Mind

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. Last you heard from me I was planning on going to see The Ladles at Sunny’s in Red Hook Brooklyn. It had been on my calendar since it was announced. They are one of my favorite bands and I have […]

Great Day For a Baseball Season; Lets Play Two

Yesterday was the best day of the year, Opening Day of the baseball season. Like Annie in Bull Durham I worship at the Church of Baseball. I made sure to get home before first pitch. I had the TV on when they announced not just the starting lineups but the subs. This is all part […]
