Shopping Cart of Love

How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]

Molto Vivace

I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]

I Never Passover Seeing Christine Lavin

I’m tired but I’ll write even before I eat dinner. Life is returning to normal. Yesterday I went to my first seder since the before times. I made what will hopefully once again be my annual trek to Norwalk Connecticut to celebrate Pesach with my once-a-year family. This year was a bit weird, as we […]

What Rhymes with Madonna and is Clear as a Bell?

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]

Miwa Castor & Pollux

Last night I went to see Miwa Gemini at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. That was easy to write, not so easy to accomplish. The show was at seven and it takes me about fifty minutes to get there so I left a little before six. I would have left more before six if I […]

What is Green?

I own you a health report after yesterday’s post. My vaccination reaction or Crohn’s attack ended the way so many Crohn’s attacks do, in my sleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up and knew I was better. I don’t know the word to describe how I felt when I was sick. For […]

Windy City

I wimped out on my walk yesterday. Winter ignored the calendar and came back yesterday. I saw that the feels-like temperature was 19º. I was OK with that. It just meant getting out the cold-weather gear I thought I was done with for the year. I grabbed some shopping bags and started on the two-mile […]

Wailin’ not Pirate Jennys

I didn’t blog yesterday. I hate when I don’t blog especially on a day that I didn’t leave the house. We’ll count that as a loss and move on that’s a key to winning baseball and life, play one game at a time. On Thursday I did do something worth writing about and even have […]

GI Bill

Yesterday’s adventure was a trip to my gastroenterologist. I do that about three times a year. I think that’s based on how often he likes to talk about music with me. I suspect most people don’t look forward to the social aspect of going to the doctor. I love mine. It’s a schlep to get […]

Youth in a Brooklyn Bar

Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]
