Jubilation I’m Happy Again

Yesterday was amazing, the sun coming out after a storm, a feast after a fast, the weekend after a tough work week. It was part music festival and part family reunion. It was the Make Music Ditmas Park porch concert. I’ve been to porch concerts before, many last  year, but this one was an event. […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Yesterday’s adventure was the penultimate Sunset Singing Circle. I had missed two weeks in a row, one week it wasn’t held and the next week I got sick; I needed my fix. Fred and I always eat at The View at Battery Park before the show; yesterday morning when I tried to make a reservation […]

Lucky Charm

Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]

Music At Rivendell

Hold on to your hats, I went out Sunday, that’s two days out of the three! Yesterday I headed south to the land of Ditmas Park in central Brooklyn. The majority of my subway rides since the pandemic started were to there. This time was special, I went to my first house concert après la […]

It is ridiculous that I’ve waited this long to write today but that is where my head is out. I’ve been dysfunctional of late. I’m not going to dwell on that and instead discuss what I’ve done the last few days. On Sunday I made another pilgrimage to Ditmas Park to hear a porch concert […]

Music and the Garden

Usually I’ve had nothing to write about in the age of COVID-19. Then I was too busy to write yesterday about what happened on Saturday and now I have too much to write about. After all that I bet this will be short. I can pretty much summarize it in one sentence; “I love my […]

Live, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Baseball

I got two phone calls today which slowed me down. Since the day before my birthday I’ve gotten so many calls that I haven’t felt the need to call anyone. There are specific people that I want to talk to, but I’m all talked out. This is a good problem to have. The seal on […]

The Birth of a Blogger

I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]

Sweet Garlic Entry

It’s not the morning but at least I’m writing. It would probably help if I knew what I was writing about. I’m keeping up the good dinners; last night I had sweet garlic ham steak and fried plantains. Everyone should try sweet garlic topping, it’s so easy to do. The original recipe I saw said […]

More Exciting Than Her Ride Through Coventry

I’m back to having sleep issues, slept late yesterday and now today. I hate this. I need to see the pulmonologist about my sleep apnea. I fall asleep fine; I just don’t wake up resting. On the bright side it means I dream multiple times a night and get surprise guest stars in them. The […]
