The news from school is that we had Open School night. For the first time in three years the parents were invited to the school to meet the teachers. There was a bonus, as we had to say until 7 PM we were allowed to leave early and come back and when we did, we […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday’s agenda: Pick up prescription Walk at least three miles Go to John Platt’s On Your Radar The only part I completed is the last. Today I have to do the walking and pick up my prescriptions. Perhaps I’ll walk to get buy more coffee from Maria’s Coffee. That means actually getting out of the […]
I’ve been busy, that’s a good thing. It’s been three days since my last blog post. I wanted that to sound like the beginning of a Catholic confession, but I don’t know what comes next. I only know that much from movies and TV but as I feel guilty when I don’t blog it seemed […]
I’m back to blogging, did you miss me? There was a series of titles I was going to use but have no forgotten them all. I’ll just attempt a brief recap of this year’s Thanksgiving which like all Thanksgivings with the Van Mercs, was the best Thanksgiving ever. Last you heard from me I was […]
Wow, I’m writing this when I’m supposed to, in the morning. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Now if I can get back to going to sleep earlier so I’m rested when I wake up. I just closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I could make coffee but once I do […]
I had an MRI yesterday; will that make me resonate with you? I didn’t think so. The test was scheduled for 2:45 and I couldn’t eat for four hours beforehand so I had what was for me a big breakfast. I finished off the bacon, that means I have to buy more. The worst part […]
Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]
I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]
