A Matter of Life and Life

My main topic today is the leaked Supreme Court decision on abortion, but I went to the Met game so will start with what I know best. My beloved Mets played a rare weekday day game yesterday versus the Atlanta Braves. Everything went perfectly … except for the game. I had my fastest commute to […]

Ziggy Did Not Play Keytar

On Sunday I went to my second Met game of the season. Horror of horrors, because of a train delay I missed first pitch. On the plus side I remembered to bring my own food, a ham and cheese hero and popcorn. Popcorn is my official baseball game snack food. I’m not sure what would […]

Shopping Cart of Love

How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]

Molto Vivace

I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]

Boost Me Up

I can’t believe this entire day slipped away from me. It’s 9 PM and I’ve hardly done anything, I haven’t even blogged. I have a readymade excuse, but I’m not using it as that would be a lie. I must be honest with My Gentle Readers. So, let’s move back to yesterday and my excuse […]

Lindor Truffle

Life really is getting back to normal, yesterday I had a doubleheader. In the early afternoon I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse volunteer picnic in MacEachron Waterfront Park in Hasting. That involved taking the subway to a bus to the MetroNorth railroad; it was worth it. At least when I got there the park […]

So Sue Me

Good morning campers. Oh it’s 2:22 PM, that’s technically afternoon. I didn’t wake up until 12:15 so for me it’s morning. When I sleep late like that, I call it the land of the lotus eaters. I was doing that often for a while and I forced myself to stop. I’ll let myself do it […]

Koosman, Katherine, and Deb

The problem with doing things worth writing about is that it gives me less time to write. Sunday’s plans didn’t allow me to write about Saturday’s Met game. I’m going to do something today I used to do often, tell the stories visually. I’m also going to do something that I’ve only done of late, […]

Corner the Market

The reason I didn’t blog yesterday was the heat. I had in person therapy at 9:30 AM. What does that have to do with the heat? I’ll get to that. Getting there on time meant getting up early and leaving the house by 7:53; that’s how precise Google Maps is. I made it and it […]

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game. Tonight’s too. I could have heard live music right before by Terry Waldo but instead I’m blogging and making a phone call I have to make. I’m paying for my procrastination. I should run to the supermarket, but I forgot what I need. My faults are coming […]
