Barnaby Brightest

Last night I had a musical doubleheader John Platt’s On Your Radar and Barnaby Bright, both at the Bitter End. It’s tough for me to write about On Your Radar as I do the social media for the series so I’m going right to Barnaby Bright. They are not just favorites, but they are one […]

Gentile On My Mind

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. Last you heard from me I was planning on going to see The Ladles at Sunny’s in Red Hook Brooklyn. It had been on my calendar since it was announced. They are one of my favorite bands and I have […]

Non-prescription Anti-Depressants

Sorry I haven’t been writing. I’ve been either busy or tired. I’ve had some commuting hell. On Monday I went to the Knick game, they lost, but that’s not the point. The point is that I leave the game after my theoretical bed time. I’m  never actually in bed then but that’s my goal. If […]

Sunday in the Park By Myself

It’s taken me a long time but at least I’m writing today. I’ve been in a weird social space. Since I got together with so many friends on Wednesday I have not spoken to a soul since until today and that was talking to strangers. I have not left the house much either except to […]

Huzzah, I woke up with my alarm and I’m blogging in the morning. My head is in a better space, at least my sleep pattern is. You might have noticed that yesterday was hot. It was hot on Saturday too. When I went to leave to see Deni at Don’s I wanted to wear my […]

Does This Mean I’m Magnetic?

I had an MRI yesterday; will that make me resonate with you? I didn’t think so. The test was scheduled for 2:45 and I couldn’t eat for four hours beforehand so I had what was for me a big breakfast. I finished off the bacon, that means I have to buy more. The worst part […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]
