Wise MadnessDateline Van Merc Hill: Thanksgiving with Emily and Joe’s family is a lot like NERFA; I spend the day in my jammies, I don’t go outside, there’s lots of music, and I stay up late with other people. Friday is the day of rest between first and second Thanksgiving. I attempted to edit photos starting […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I’m safely ensconced in my room at Emily and Joe’s house, the Stately Van Merc Hill. Hey it’s in a state, fine, be that way, it’s a commonwealth, commonwealthy Van Merc Hill. My train arrived a little early, that does not happen with the bus, it’s always a question of how […]
I didn’t go out yesterday, that means a writing challenge today. It’s always easy to find things to write about when I’m not writing The question is can I do it under pressure? We’ll find out. I can write about dinner, it was the best I’ve made in a while, just roasted chicken and potatoes […]
I was a dirty-stay-out-late, as my parents would say, partying to all hours of the night. I was at the Hudson West Folk Festival volunteer party.
I didn’t go out yesterday so today is the first write whatever I want post since before NERFA. The problem is I don’t know what to write. I have many competing ideas, I can go personal, I can go religious, I can go political/philosophical. I can write about snow. I think I’m going for potpourri. […]
The main event yesterday was Sharon Goldman’s birthday concert.
Marty couldn’t use his ticket to see Anna & Elizabeth and The Low Anthem at Zankel Hall. The only reason I didn’t have a ticket for that was that I couldn’t afford it. Not a fan of The Low Anthem but I love Anna & Elizabeth. I couldn’t say yes fast enough. Not only did I get to go, I got to sit in the front row. This show was a big deal, Zankel Hall is part of Carnegie Hall, its ultra-cool basement auditorium.
All Gaul is divided into three parts but this entry is divided into two, a doctor visit and seeing Mya. That opening would work better if I were at the doctor for my gall bladder, but I’m no longer in possession of one. I have Crohn’s disease. I had cancer of the small intestine. I […]
Living in the Bronx means taking a trek most days. Yesterday’s was an extra long one to Greenvale Long Island. What would bring me out to that suburban backwater? Alan’s surprise 60th birthday party. I had tickets to see Vienna Teng and Jean Rohe was doing a co-bill with Rachael Kilgore but they’ll all play […]
I went out to see Carolann Solebello and Joe Iadanzalast night so I have something to write about. See the sacrifices I make for My Gentle Readers? When I got there Sharon was surprised, she thought I said I couldn’t make it. I was insulted, there is no way that I’m missing Carolann and Joe […]
