I’ve Run Out of Radar Puns

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month, My Gentle Readers should know where I was. That’s right, John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were Plywood Cowboy, Sophie Buskin, and Genevieve. OYR is always a home game. I decided last night that I’m not going to give my usual list of friends in the audience, I’m going to just give you a count. You know you should add at least one to the total as I always forget people. I just counted 15. The room holds only 60 and that count doesn’t include John and his wife Sheila. And then there were the performers.

A Month of Music

I did something I’m not happy about yesterday. I had a psychiatrist appointment. The stupid insurance company won’t pay if I see my therapist and psychiatrist the same day; that means two separate treks to Harrison. My appointment was at noon. The way the train and bus schedule work out that means having to take […]

La Mer La Mer

I didn’t think I’d be writing this morning as I have to leave the house before I start writing on most days but it looks like somehow I’m pulling this off. Now I have to stay on task so I can both write and eat. Yesterday’s adventure was seeing The Sea The Sea at Rockwood […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

Prejudice Blindness

Sometimes fate helps me write Wise Madness. I had today’s entry planned out for days without any tie in to my personal life. Yesterday, right on time, the topic affected me. I’ll let the story unfold. Jane is back in City Island trying to get her apartment in order and I went over to help […]

It’s Showtime Folks!

I spent the night with two breathe right on and it helped. I’m not exhausted. I’m going to do this till I run out of my supply of medium strips. Being able to breathe is not a luxury. I have two items in my ideas bin, one a very serious examination of prejudice and public […]

(The Sea)²

Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.

Train and Caravans of Thieves

Yesterday was a day of great music that was unexpected, and traveling woes that comes as no surprise. I’ll tell the tale in that order. Yesterday after lamenting that I had no music on my calendar I got a message from Micki asking if I wanted to see Caravan of Thieves in Stage One of […]

Mafale and Miles or Visa Versa

I’m going to write about seeing Miles and Mafale and friends but before that I’m going to tell an ugly story and use an ugly word. If you want to skip that and get to fun it begins after the horizontal line.
