Citizen Idiot

How did it get so late? Oh yeah, that time thing; it even passes when I’m taking a nap. I hate this not getting enough sleep business. Enough of that, I have a tale to tell. It’s full of sound and fury and told by an idiot. When I left the house I knew that […]

Radar Love

Yay, I have things to write about. There’s music, there’s friends, and there’s medical news. Let’s play this backwards and start in the evening. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The original lineup included two Budgiedome alumni, Martin Swinger and Quarter Horse. Then with less […]

I Must Be Whiskey, I was Charmed

You guys are in luck, I went out to hear music last night, so I have something to listen to. I went to see, The Whiskey Charmers at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. The timing worked out oddly, I wanted to do some food shopping first but I left a little late and then the […]

I woke up this morning with a very sore shoulder and I’m typing this through the pain. That is how much I love My Gentle Readers. But I’m not crazy, I’m taking acetaminophen; I’ll be right back after a word from our sponsor. It doesn’t work that fast but I feel better, placebo effect. I’m […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

Bringing Sicily to the World

Sadly I’m back to having breathing problems which leads to me having sleeping problems. I often can’t breathe through my nose which leads to sleep apnea. I wake up unrested. When it is at its worst I will weak up in the night and feel like I’m being smothered. It always takes me a second […]

Yak Yak Yak

I am writing this under subpar, and subzero conditions. There’s no heat. I’m wearing more layers than an onion. Perhaps this will put me in the right mind frame as last night I went to a Nepalese restaurant to hear Nepalese music. As the feels-like temperature was below 0°F I dressed appropriately; that included the […]

(The Sea)²

Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.

Live and Let Dilate

I’m getting cataract surgery! Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Schultz. Unlike the last time I attempted this, one visit was enough. As of February 4, I should no longer be blind. What a relief. I haven’t been able to see well in years. First I didn’t have insurance. Then I had insurance […]

Essence of Happiness

Last night’s adventure was seeing Jefferson Hamer and Mary-Elaine Jenkins a the City Winery Loft. It’s above City Winery and next to the their Barrel Room. There is nothing obvious to make it look like an entrance. You’d think it was a service entrance or the way to apartments above the Winery. It’s just a […]
