Shiva with Anticipation

I have made a disappointing discovery. Now matter how ready I am to write if my water bottle is empty, I can’t fill it psychically. I have to get up from my computer, go to the kitchen, and fill it. That would not be so bad if I had not previously discovered that no matter […]

Nash Equilibrium

I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]

Ban Joist Not Books

It’s been a not leave the house sort of day. That’s not good; I should have forced myself to leave but I didn’t. It’s not the worst thing as it’s not like I do that every day. Sometimes a single day not moving and sleeping can be acceptable. I did get some things taken care […]

Doctor Strange at the Mountains of Madness

Yesterday I went to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It took me five attempts to not bury the lede. I’m joined the AMC Stub Club. It’s free and with it I get discounted tickets on Tuesdays. They also give discounts to seniors and for early shows. These can all be combined so […]

Tribal Signaling

Huzzah, I woke up with my alarm and I’m blogging in the morning. My head is in a better space, at least my sleep pattern is. You might have noticed that yesterday was hot. It was hot on Saturday too. When I went to leave to see Deni at Don’s I wanted to wear my […]

Radar Love

The problem with missing a day blogging is that I have to remember what happened two days ago. That’s more than a mayfly lifetime. You’ll have to forgive me I’ll have to leave out the things I forgot. Today is Thursday, counting backward on my fingers leads me to believe that two days ago was […]

Bronx River Adventure

I was up way too late last night, and then woke up four hours later and didn’t get right back to sleep so I’ll give myself a pass for not writing until 2:00 PM. Yesterday I had a wilderness adventure. It started with me going to get tested for COVID-19. John Platt’s On Your Radar […]

A Matter of Life and Life

My main topic today is the leaked Supreme Court decision on abortion, but I went to the Met game so will start with what I know best. My beloved Mets played a rare weekday day game yesterday versus the Atlanta Braves. Everything went perfectly … except for the game. I had my fastest commute to […]

Ziggy Did Not Play Keytar

On Sunday I went to my second Met game of the season. Horror of horrors, because of a train delay I missed first pitch. On the plus side I remembered to bring my own food, a ham and cheese hero and popcorn. Popcorn is my official baseball game snack food. I’m not sure what would […]

Movers and Shakers

A friend commended me for maintaining this blog for over 20 years. I am unhappy as I am missing too many days. That being said I’ll tell a tale of my adventures. Having an extra day helps me to tie up a loose end. On Wednesday I helped my friend David move. We were joined […]
