Singing with the Tribe

Yesterday was Friday, it’s May, that means you should have a reasonable guess where I was yesterday, the Sunset Singing Circle, led by the inimitable Terre Roche. Is that true? Is it impossible to imitate Terre? I suspect that Suzzy could do a reasonable job. How about the remarkable Terre Roche? That’s certainly true. I […]

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 […]

GI Bill

Yesterday’s adventure was a trip to my gastroenterologist. I do that about three times a year. I think that’s based on how often he likes to talk about music with me. I suspect most people don’t look forward to the social aspect of going to the doctor. I love mine. It’s a schlep to get […]

Clearing the Fog

Yesterday didn’t go as planned. I got a text from Alan asking if I wanted to go to the Knick game. I said yes. Last week I was nervous, but the COVID-19 rates are dropping fast. I was tested a few days ago and was negative so I’m not worried about infecting others. I am […]

Yesterday’s agenda: Pick up prescription Walk at least three miles Go to John Platt’s On Your Radar The only part I completed is the last. Today I have to do the walking and pick up my prescriptions. Perhaps I’ll walk to get buy more coffee from Maria’s Coffee. That means actually getting out of the […]

Duck and Cover, I mean Knot and Tuck

I always seem to start by apologizing for not writing. The problem is that the more time I have to write the less I have to write about. I just came up with two thoughts; I can write about music I don’t hear live, and I can write about current events. Writing about my personal […]

Then Quotidian Spider-Man

Yesterday was Tuesday and I finally did what I plan on doing every Tuesday, I went to the movies. Why? I have an AMC gift card and they give a discount on Tuesdays. They also give discounts for seniors and matinees. Even with the service fee it only cost $8.25. Given Omicron surge I had […]

Majority of One

Why haven’t I written yet today? I know, it’s because I’m an idiot. I also didn’t take my walk. I put it off so long that it was already getting dark. I have to adjust my schedule to Standard Time.  Remember way back when that I had a disagreement with two New York Police Department […]

In In The Cold

Life is not fair. I’ve been living carefully for a year and a half. I wear a mask when I’m out. I’ve avoiding spending time with unvaccinated people. I’ve been vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 and got my flu vaccination last week. So, what happened? I started feeling a scratchy throat late the night before […]

Compliance Will Be Rewarded

I couldn’t get myself out of the house yesterday until my nighttime adventure. I had planned on walking to Aldi for some much-needed groceries but that didn’t happen. My evening plans started at 9 PM yet I never made dinner. I didn’t blog. Saturday was not a shining day for me. My adventure was going […]
