Call Me Matt Murdoch

Mea Culpa, I’ve gotten terrible about updating. The last two days I found myself in the land of the lotus eaters for hours in the morning, the hypnopompia. This is why I have never used drugs; I have an addictive personality. It is so pleasant that I can’t tear myself away. I’m on a run […]

Hour Band

I’m not dead! I know you figured that was the only thing that could keep me from blogging for so long. I’ve just been busy. Now do I write one long entry or do I split it up. I’ll let you know when I figure that out. Let’s go back into the distant pass, Sunday. […]

This Gemini is a Cancer

Last night I went to Miwa Gemini’s 50th birthday/Album Release concert. This was her first full band show since the plague started. That was worth a trip to Littlefield in Brooklyn to see. This was my third time seeing her and each was a revelation. The first was a porch concert and the second a […]

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 […]

For Auld Lang Syne, My Jo,

Should I apologize for not writing yesterday or just accept that I’m finding it difficult to blog every day? Neither; I asked that question instead. I’m exceptionally good at avoidance. It was Friday in June, so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle. This was the first one this year with beautiful weather at our […]

A Grain of Sand

Last night I made the trek down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn to see Jean Rohe at the Owl. Jean is perhaps may favorite musician and The Owl is a hoot. I should just stop right there; you now know everything you need to know about me. I won’t because you don’t know everything […]

Nash Equilibrium

I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]

I got one sentence into blogging yesterday and stopped. I have no idea what interfered. Now I have to catch up on two days. Good thing nothing happened on Friday. Something was supposed to happen, the Sunset Singing Circle. It was raining and I kept changing my mind if I was going to go. I […]

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 […]
