How is House of Hamill Like Poutine?

As the title shows today’s topic is compare and contrast House of Hamill and poutine. That saves me from correcting the 847 misunderstandings of medicine and economics I’ve read on FB this morning. I’m resisting even giving one liners, though many can be covered by, “I don’t think that word means what you think it […]

Restless

I disappointed myself yesterday. I had three things to do, one was very important; Go to Social Security for a new card, go food shopping, and see The Restless Age at Rockwood. I left the house so late that I thought I might have to sacrifice the concert. Nope, I left so late that the […]

That Was the Year That Was

I was going to go shopping yesterday but couldn’t face the rain. My mother would say, “What? Your made of sugar?” I have double plans for today and tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do. Today I’m going to the New York Botanical Garden Train Show with Allison and Joe and then to my […]

Best Albums of 2019

Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]

It’s Not About The Dreidel

Oh great, I promised to write about Chanukah today. That’s not fun? Why did I do that? Oh right, I have nothing to write about today and it’s important. Chanukah is not important as a holiday, but it teaches important lessons. I’m not talking about lighting the menorah or presents or even chocolate gelt. I […]

Top of the Charts is Coming

I didn’t blog yesterday and waited until almost three to start today? What’s up with me? Let’s blame the sleep apnea. In this case that’s legit; sleep apnea and procrastination. I knew that Ron Olesko wanted to air my top album of 2019 show on Folk Music Notebook some time between Christmas and New Year’s. […]

The Zen of Politics

Yesterday I stayed home and never got out of my pjs. Why? I’m an idiot; I was supposed to go to a latke party at Carol and Jeff’s house. I remembered that one minute before it was supposed to start. They live an hour and a half away so that wasn’t going to happen. I […]

Between the Drive and the Caroling

The three day WFUV member drive is over, so my life is back to normal. The plan yesterday was to volunteer for seven hours, 6 AM – 1 PM and then go to therapy. Then my therapist had to cancel. I figured I’d stay until 1 and then go shopping. But the supervisor that was […]

Within You Without You

Last thing I told you was that I was starting three days of volunteering at WFUV. I thought that the only way I’d have time to blog is if I could do it from the station. That plan had to be abandoned when they decided to up security on the computers we use to take […]

Live From There

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. […]
