Remember Tulsa

How have I not written for three days? Sure, I haven’t done much but that’s no excuse. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t write yesterday. I just checked to see if I wrote something and forgot to post it, no, didn’t happen. The first two skipped days were because I was sick. I simply […]

Tidbits of My Life

I did not go for a walk yesterday and was sleepy all morning today? Is that cause and effect? Do I need my daily exposure to light? I don’t know and I don’t know how to figure it out. The sleepiness can also be from depression. In any even it’s better for me in every […]

The Return of the deGrom (and me)

Sorry for not writing yesterday. On the bright side I something worth writing about, went to my first Met game since 2019. I wanted to get my walk in so instead hopping on the D or 4 train near my house I walked down to Fordham Road and got the D there. I was going […]

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 […]

Swedish Meatball in the Rabbit Hole

Today I’m going to do something I used to do often, write about the random rabbit hole my mind went down when thinking about something completely different. It’s how I spend a great deal of my life, now matter what else I seem to be doing. The path to this rabbit hole started with last […]

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 […]

I simply forgot to blog today. I’ll see what I can get done while I listen to Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s going to be tough as the guy that programs it knows exactly what music I love, and he tells great stories. It’s radio so I can’t see what he looks like, […]

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 […]

Life Simple

I ended up not taking my Donut Walk™ yesterday. For the first time in a while, I made a conscious, stay-in-my-PJs day. For so long that was the norm the fact that now it’s a deliberate choice is a good thing, it felt like a luxury. I’m going out today for a house concert at […]

Preparation Radar

I’ve eaten breakfast and I’m drinking my coffee and starting writing before noon, I’m ahead of the game. Yesterday’s adventure was not my Donut Walk™ but the even better Coffee & Donut Walk™. That does mean I ordered a coffee and donut someplace. First I made my usual walk to Krispy Kreme but then continued […]
