Wise MadnessI have twenty minutes to write and post my first entry in days. I will cut right to the chase. Today I had my training session for the Census Bureau. They sent me an email with the time and place after checking with me to find that today worked for me. It was at 1 […]
There is an old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” I wonder if that’s apocryphal and someone just ascribed it to the Chinese for effect. Whether or not the curse comes from Wuhan or not I have interesting things to write about today. Yesterday I was trying to post to Instagram. I was […]
This is going to be difficult to write. I’m having an outbreak of annoyance with people and I’ve been expressing this annoyance. I’m not being overcritical, my critiques are right on as far as I can see, even in retrospect. The problem is that I’ve been too free to express them. Saying something stupid is […]
I knew exactly what I was going to write earlier but then had to go out. Now I have no idea what to write. Maybe if I write about the interruption it will come to me. Yesterday I told you that I had buy coffee beans and was going to get it at the local […]
The sleep apnea hit me like a ton of bricks today. I have been too sleepy to do anything including blogging or recording more for Folk Music Notebook. I’m not over it. I just yawned. Maybe I should make another pot of coffee and this time inject it straight into my veins. I’m going to […]
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 […]
I’m back to the August doldrums. After therapy I went home and watched the Mets lose. That’s my plan for tonight too, except for the game’s outcome. I got something done; I recorded two editions of Gord’s Gold, featuring Her Crooked Heart and Jean Rohe. I had already recorded Jean’s but that was before I […]
Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]
The rain let up enough yesterday for me to venture out to Bagel Bob’s for 55¢ bagels. That price is only on Mondays from 4 – 7. So yes, I travel from the Bronx to Greenwich Village for half-priced bagels. I follow that with a stop at the Trader Joe’s in the neighborhood. I’m not […]
Today i deal with sleep issues, steak, people not taking responsibility, and people assigning responsibility when they shouldn’t.
