Seder Chest

This is a first this season, I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are playing the Cards and winning 1 – 0. Alonso hit another home run. He’s off to the fastest start I can remember from a Met rookie to start a season. And now the Mets are losing 3 – 1 without […]

The Eyes Have It

I had my second cataract surgery. I didn’t die on the table. I can see! I have binocular vision!. I have stepped out of a world of two dimensions into one of three. I can now see you’re here-to-fore hidden depths. Do I really need to write more than that? I guess so if for […]

I Get by with a Little Help From My Friends

I had a nice little edition planned for today. Today’s events have driven it from my head. That is not a good thing. Drama is only good when it happens to fictional people. My alarm woke me up as usual at 8:30. Between midnight and then my phone is on Do Not Disturb. I saw […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

Essence of Happiness

Last night’s adventure was seeing Jefferson Hamer and Mary-Elaine Jenkins a the City Winery Loft. It’s above City Winery and next to the their Barrel Room. There is nothing obvious to make it look like an entrance. You’d think it was a service entrance or the way to apartments above the Winery. It’s just a […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]
