Deni for Your Thoughts

What’s my lede? Seeing Deni Bonet? Taking a walk? No, it’s that for the second day in a row I had to call 911. That caught your attention. It was Friday, that means therapy. I had extra need as the week before my therapist had to cancel over a family health emergency. Therapy also means […]

Our Minds Work in Mysterious Ways

I was disappointed that I had trouble getting to sleep last night. My internal clock is still running late. As I lay in bed, I started to think about a series of books that I started to read years ago and that I realized that now that I can read, I could pick up again. […]

Rose of Sharon

My therapist canceled yesterday which meant finding other ways to care for my mental health. Good thing I already had one planned, seeing Sharon Goldman at Free Music Fridays at the American Folk Art Museum. When I taught a few blocks away I was a regular at the series. It’s still convenient and as Lara […]

Food Glorious Food

Today didn’t start well, I got a call from my therapist, she has to cancel today’s session. I could just blog what I wanted to talk about. Do all of you promise therapist-patient confidentiality? I trust you but I think I better not rely on it. I’m often proud of my cooking. Yesterday I tried […]

Roberttown, Bobtown to Their Friends

Yesterday had all the same elements as Saturday minus the idiot story, there was great music, great friends, and great food. There were also transit problems, but not for me. The music was by Bobtown, the friends were the members of Bobtown, Carolann, Allison, Bev, Fred, Shelley, David, Perry & Beth, repeats from Saturday, and […]

The Adventures of Ryanhood and Sophie’s Choice

Today you get rewarded with tales of not just music and friends but an idiot story; it must be sweeps week. Last night I headed out to the wilds of Teaneck NJ to see Ryanhood and Sophie Buskin at Ethical Brew. It’s not that difficult to get to, two subways and a bus that drops […]

The Renaissance of Renaissance

I have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]

Shouldn’t it be On Your Sonar?

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The performers were Our Band, Terry Klein, and Kate Callahan. I’m being good today and including all the links. I’ve been slacking off and only giving links when I have macros to insert them. It was not just the […]

Bonus Point For Monkey

Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]

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 […]
