Go Fourth

Happy Independence Day! That must always be acknowledged. I listened to The Egg and Is Anybody There from 1776 before I went to sleep last night. I couldn’t wait till I woke up. There must be someplace I can watch the film on TV today. I’ll see. Yesterday I did one of the top items […]

My Mets Right or Wrong

I’m writing this twelve hours later than I should have. Will I remember what happened yesterday? You’ll never know, I’ll just make it up if I don’t. I went to my second Met game this week, this one against their hated crosstown rivals the New York Yankees. It’s Good versus Evil. I’m on the side […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Seder Chest

This is a first this season, I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are playing the Cards and winning 1 – 0. Alonso hit another home run. He’s off to the fastest start I can remember from a Met rookie to start a season. And now the Mets are losing 3 – 1 without […]
