Rock Me Goddess in the Gentle Arms of Eden

Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]

How Does This Sexual Attraction Thing Work?

I’m writing this far earlier than usual. I have an appointment with the ophthalmologist this morning and slept well enough to get an early start. My sleep is not back to normal, I still woke up in the night, but it’s improved. I’m slowly recovering from the surgery. My discomfort level is the lowest it’s […]

On Your Raye Dar

Last night I went to Dar’s annual Boxing Day show. It wasn’t on Boxing Day. I don’t know if anyone else calls it her Boxing Day show. I’m know why I call it her Boxing Day show. It might be because of the one year there was a blizzard on Boxing Day when the show […]

My Arch Tradition

Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]

Any Friend of Christine’s A Friend of Mine

Last night I had a great time seeing Christine Lavin and friends at Urban Stages. Her friends were Julie Gold, Katherine Rondeau. and Karen Jacobsen. It could have been called “Gordon’s Friends, without Gordon.” That’s not quite accurate as I don’t know Karen even though I’ve driven with her many times. Karen is an Aussie […]

Uh-Nay-Iss

This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]

Thanksgiving II: The Sequel

Dateline Van Merc Hill: I hear other people awake. I could join them but it’s parent/child time so I think I’ll write till breakfast starts cooking. There are still other guests sleeping. I’m used to be the last to wake up. Yesterday was Second Thanksgiving. I think I like that even more than first Thanksgiving. […]

A Very Van Merc Thanksgiving

Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m safely ensconced in my room at Emily and Joe’s house, the Stately Van Merc Hill. Hey it’s in a state, fine, be that way, it’s a commonwealth, commonwealthy Van Merc Hill. My train arrived a little early, that does not happen with the bus, it’s always a question of how […]

You Can’t Tell the Players Without a Program

Today’s edition of Wise Madness is about seeing the Anna/Kate Band. Now that I got the attention grabbing lede out of the way I can work my way up to it in my round-about manner. I’m getting a late start today. I woke up my usual time, went to my computer, and within 20 minutes […]

Erin and the Emerald Isle (nothing to do with Ireland)

I spent yesterday first as an IT savior and then seeing Emerald Rae and Jess Clinton. That was followed by a re-enactment of the Odyssey on the New York City subway.
