The Band of the Our

I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]

Zoo Station

Yesterday was a fun day, I went to the Bronx Zoo with Gen. It was a busman’s holiday for her as she has worked much of her life in wildlife conservation and seen most of what we saw in the wild. Of course, out on the veldt she didn’t have my scintillating conversation. I’m trying […]

Go Hudson West Young Man and Young Woman

Last night I went to the third annual Hudson West Folk Festival. That’s my excuse for not writing yesterday, I’m the head of the merch volunteers, well duh, so I wanted to get there early. Turns out I couldn’t do much merch stuff for the first two hours but helped with set up or perhaps […]

Gathering of the Clans

I’m in the midst of a socializing frenzy. After going weeks without seeing another soul I’m now seeing friends almost every day. Yesterday’s event was Joe’s 70th birthday party. For the fourth time in two weeks I found myself heading out to Allison and Joe’s house on the wrong side of the Hudson, aka New […]

It’s not the Heat it’s the Stupidity

My birthday was on Friday but I celebrated on Thursday and then again yesterday. This time it was with Dan. How did we celebrate? By being idiots and walking around the Bronx on a day with a Feels Like temperature of 106°. Our first stop was Brunch at a local diner that I had never […]

Making Progress

Yesterday’s plan was to not leave the air-conditioned apartment. I failed because I’m an idiot. I started to make breakfast, put the frozen bagel in the toaster oven, and only then remembered that I had only one egg. I was supposed to pick up a dozen on my way home from therapy the day before […]

What Do I Love More Than Love

Last night I had an early celebration of my birthday as Kevin took me to see Dar Williams with Susan Werner opening. That should be all I need to write, the rest you can figure out for yourself. Just as 2 + 3 = 5; Dar + Susan = Great Time. Sure I just saw […]

It’s the End of America as We Know It

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I didn’t have a good excuse. It seems like a small thing but it has a lot to do with my other problems. We’ll be discussing this at my next therapy session. As a consequence I now have to catch up with what happened on Saturday before I get to […]

Opera and Folk but Not Folk Opera

I missed writing yesterday so now I have a lot to catch up on; one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, an idiot story, and the end of the world. See what happens when you miss a day? Friday night I went to see Hawktail. This was my first time seeing them as […]

Christmas Eve with a Side of Soy

I gotta late start today, I got out of bed at 1PM. I didn’t wake up on Christmas morning hours before the winter’s sun’s ignited; but I do believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven’s generosity. I know what day it is. Last you heard I was heading out to spend an exciting […]
