Somewhere Over the Rainbow Girls

I spent much of Friday planning then replanning, then rereplanning Gord’s Gold. I didn’t finish until tonight. I’ve more meticulous about the show’s timing. I now try hard to have been 54 and 55 minutes of music. On the bright side I have an entire set already organized for next week. I have 655 songs […]

The Fabled Isle of Coney

On Wednesday I went to Coney Island to see the Brooklyn Cyclones play the Greensboro Grasshoppers at the Cyclones beautiful Maimonides Park. The only reason I remember the corporate name is that my friend practiced at Maimonides Hospital for years and it’s where my mother was born. Is it odd that a hospital is a […]

A MEGnifiscent Day.

Wednesday was a major milestone in the return to real life; in the afternoon I went to the Met game and in the evening saw Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall and went out to dinner afterward with the gang. That’s a lot of goodness for one day. I love day baseball; we need more […]

We Come to Praise Caesar Not to Bury Him

I was going to record Gord’s Gold but there’s a riveter banging out across the street. That is not conducive to recording. It’s also not conducive to writing but at least it doesn’t totally preclude it. Yesterday I went to another Met game, they were playing the Marlins. You might have noticed that I’ve been […]

Let’s Go Mets

I went to another Met game last night, this time with Alan. It was a real nail-biter. The Mets beat the Nats 10-0. Alan left the game early and that let me explore Citi Field. Out tickets give access to three of the clubs, The Jim Beam, the Piazza, and Caesars. I have sought shelter […]

Fireworks and Squirrel

Forgive me My Gentle Readers for I have sinned. It’s been two days since my last entry. Saturday’s adventure was going to the Mets-Phillies game at Citi-Field. I go to many games, but this was unusual for three reasons; it was fireworks night, because it was fireworks night it was crowded so I had to […]

Doctor Strange at the Mountains of Madness

Yesterday I went to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It took me five attempts to not bury the lede. I’m joined the AMC Stub Club. It’s free and with it I get discounted tickets on Tuesdays. They also give discounts to seniors and for early shows. These can all be combined so […]

Tribal Signaling

Huzzah, I woke up with my alarm and I’m blogging in the morning. My head is in a better space, at least my sleep pattern is. You might have noticed that yesterday was hot. It was hot on Saturday too. When I went to leave to see Deni at Don’s I wanted to wear my […]

Rohe v Wade

Last you heard from me I was tired and sore but planning on going out. Then it hit me. Why should I go out for pleasure when I’m tired and sore? Dan would understand, so I canceled. It is usually the right decision to go out, this time it wasn’t. Not only that but I […]

From Vienna to the Citi

I’m finally catching up on my blogging. There is no reason I didn’t do this earlier other than lack of energy and my issues initiating action. I’ve had an action packed few days. Well, OK, not that action-packed but enough that my body is aching. On Sunday I went with Fred and his friend Josephine […]
