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 […]

Love Like God Loves

I had an eventful day, let’s see what I can remember, I walked 6 miles, an idiot story that involved blood being spilled, an unpleasant encounter with the police, hit subway delays, and a great Met game. I end with a eulogy for a friend. That was my day. I guess I’m finished writing. Oh, […]

Lost in Anxiety

Welcome to a writing while watching the Met game edition of Wise Madness. Let’s see if I can gather enough concentration. Yesterday was not a good day. The weather wasn’t good, I didn’t take my walk, the only time I left the apartment was a quick run to the local supermarket. I bought comfort food, […]

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. […]

Nerds On Your Radar

I have time for a short entry before I take my Donut Walk™. My posts are so varied, do you find that a problem? One day I’ll write a silly recounting of  my day with self-deprecatory humor and the next a serious piece on punishment that asks you to rethink the issue. When we aren’t […]

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 […]

I’d Walk Five Miles for Pub Fries

I left the  house yesterday! After two days inside I needed a longer walk, Krispy Kreme wouldn’t suffice. Instead of a Donut Walk™ I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ and grocery shopping trip. A week and a half ago I went on a Pub Fries Walk™ because Wendy’s had an offer on the app […]

A Mystery and a War

Buckle your seatbelts I’m about to get very meta. Yesterday is personally newsworthy because I did exactly what I’ve done the vast majority of days since March 2020, I stayed home. The news is that this is now newsworthy. For the last couple of months, I go out almost every day if for nothing more […]

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 […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]
