Cutting Remarks

I teased what happened yesterday on Facebook. Now to tell you the bloody details. I came home from school to have a quick turnaround until the Knick game. When I got home I realized that I forgot to freeze the bagels I had bought the day before. Needless to say, they were very hard. That […]

Nash Equilibrium

I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]

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 […]

What Rhymes with Madonna and is Clear as a Bell?

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]

Youth in a Brooklyn Bar

Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]

Happy Bouncing Microwaves

I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]

A Pair of Docs

Time is doing strange things; like Sandy Denny I ask, “Who knows where the time goes.” This is what comes of missing my Donut Walk™. The back pain has a lot to do with it but not all. The more I don’t go out the more difficult I find it to get myself moving. Yesterday […]

This Bird Has Flown

I’ve managed to start writing at 11 AM even though I had breakfast first. This is a new development. I made the one-pan egg, ham, and cheese sandwich. I haven’t made that for a while. That’s because I haven’t had the good bread in the house. I still don’t, but what I have is at […]

Infusion Serendipity

Yesterday’s adventures revolve around my infusion. The car service arrived early so I rushed to get down there. I didn’t forget anything, but I did overdress. It was quite a bit warmer than I was prepared for. I never zipped up my jacket or wore my hat and gloves. Medicaid provides the car to take […]

A Day in the Life

I’m not following my normal Sunday schedule. I tried recording Gord’s Gold between one and two PM. At 1:05 I got a notification on my phone that my Amazon delivery was one stop away. As I didn’t want to be interrupted I decided to wait until it arrived to start. I realized that was not […]
