Not Too Shabby, Just Shabby Enough

Spring break is wearing my blogging out. I do things worth writing about almost every day. Yesterday’s adventure was going to Amy’s house, aka The House of Love to see the first New York performance of The Shabbys. The Shabbys are (is?) Eamon O’Leary, Elise Leavy, and Stephanie Coleman. I have seen each of them […]

Not Crossing the Line

I’m officially on spring break. After my wonderful Seder on Thursday and the Mets home opener on Friday I spent the weekend without leaving the apartment. Part of that was nice, part of that was a visit from my old friends, depression and anxiety. I was going to go to Aldi but found out that […]

Shopping Cart of Love

How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]

Christmas with Good Vibrations

Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]

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 […]

Baseball, Food, and Music: The Holy Trinity

Here’s a peek inside my brain. I just read something on Facebook that got me mad. Ten seconds later I have no idea what it was. I’m not going to go back and try and find it. It was neither politics nor baseball, the two topics that generate the most posts that offend me. Guess […]

Let’s start with an idiot story; you know why? I’m an idiot. This starts immediately after I updated yesterday. I wrote about how I had a lot of time pressure and had to get moving. I was good and went right into the shower so that I could take my Donut Walk™ and be back […]

Italian-Jewish Fusion

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get myself asleep earlier. Last night I stayed up late by choice, I watched the Lakers-Warriors game. I get to watch postseason basketball on TV as it’s on free channels ESPN and TNT. This was postseason but it was not a playoff game, it was a play-in game, a practice […]

Friday Nights are for Singing

A miracle. I’m writing in the morning before breakfast and even coffee. I used to do this all the time, maybe I can get back to it. It helps that yesterday I went out and did things. It was Friday in May or June so if you ever want to bet where I’ll be bet […]
