It’s Good to Be a Jew or Muslim at Christmas

I am going to fight the sleepiness, write my blog, and then pound out five segments for my Best Albums of 2019 Show for Folk Music Notebook. This will require a lot of coffee. Speaking of which, I have to fit a trip to the store in there, I’ll almost out of coffee and I […]

You Realize of Course This Means WAR

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 […]

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. […]

Listening and Listing

Yesterday’s expedition was to return A Storm of Swords to the library. Good thing that Mel lent me a copy and all the remaining Song of Ice and Fire books as I am not close to finishing it. I had planned on going shopping but discovered that I forgot my phone, so I cut my […]

Making a List and Checking it Twice

The bad news is that my top albums of 2019 list won’t come out until the end of the December. The good news is that part of the reason is that Ron Olesko is going to broadcast them on Folk Music Notebook, and I have to keep it under wraps till then. The other reason […]

Radar Delayed is Not Radar Denied

Sorry I’m a day late writing about John Platt’s On Your Radar, at least I’m not a dollar short. This comes from not being able to finish the blog on my NERFA discoveries on Tuesday, so I had to write that yesterday. Good thing I didn’t do anything worth writing about yesterday. I never even […]

The Band of the Our

I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]
