I had good reasons to start writing this late. I was out late, I slept late, I had to watch part one of Crisis on Infinite Earths, then the aftershow, then I cleaned out the fridge and took a shower. That took me to 40 minutes ago. I have no excuse for not writing then. […]

I expected to have more to write about today, but last night’s plans were waylaid by the MTA. Molsky’s Mountain Drifters played at Jenkins House Concerts on the upper west side. I was looking forward to seeing Bruce Molsky and it’s been way to long since I’ve seen the Jenkins clan. Somebody put a curse […]

Nut and Bolt
I’m back home. The trip home was not as pleasant as the trip to Boston. The bus had far less leg room and I had someone next to me. Part of it was my own fault, I chose the window seat. When the power outlet is on the wall, that’s better; not when it is […]

Charlie Get On the MBTA!
I’m safely ensconced in Van Merc Hill. The trip from the Bronx to Southborough MA took me 8.5 hours door to door. I could have gone to Europe. Emily and I decided that next year we have to find a better way. This was sort of ridiculous. The leg from Boston South Station to Southborough […]

On the Road to Southborough
I’m writing this on the Bolt Bus to Boston. On the good side, I finally got a $1 fare, I have a seat to myself, and both the power outlet and Wi-Fi are working. On the downside they now limit the free Wi-Fi. I started listening to music on my computer and used 20% of […]

Byrd Watching
It’s a lot easier to blog when I’ve done something the day before. Sadly, those are also the days that I think of the philosophical topics to write about that I always forget by the time it comes to write after a slow day. I could get meta and write about that; except I did […]

Pretty Maids All In A Rohe
I half wimped out yesterday, I let the rain and my bank account stop me from seeing Michaela Anne and Lauren Balthrop at the Mercury Lounge but I still saw Jean Rohe at Rockwood Music Hall; as I do her merch that eases the financial issue and it’s closer to the subway. I see Jean […]
Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]
I didn’t have a chance to write yesterday and today I’m pressed for time. I have no time to plan this, it might be interesting. On Friday I went to therapy and eschewed other plans to stay home and relax. I wasn’t staying home to mope, this was not a depression reaction, but just the […]

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 […]
