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 […]

Rohe v Wade

Last you heard from me I was tired and sore but planning on going out. Then it hit me. Why should I go out for pleasure when I’m tired and sore? Dan would understand, so I canceled. It is usually the right decision to go out, this time it wasn’t. Not only that but I […]

Singing with the Tribe

Yesterday was Friday, it’s May, that means you should have a reasonable guess where I was yesterday, the Sunset Singing Circle, led by the inimitable Terre Roche. Is that true? Is it impossible to imitate Terre? I suspect that Suzzy could do a reasonable job. How about the remarkable Terre Roche? That’s certainly true. I […]

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 […]

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 […]

Odd Man Out

I should have written this morning, late is better than nothing but need brooks no delay? Can anyone identify where that quote is from? Part of how my brain works is that I have trouble remembering many things but others the path to some memories are so well-worn that I can access them instantly. I […]

Happy Bouncing Microwaves

I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]

The Toleration Acts

The pandemic has made blogging difficult. I don’t do anything. How many times can I talk about walking to the store? I was talking to a friend, and she said, “What else is happening?” My response is nothing. That gave us something to talk about; how frustrating it is to not do anything. As Omicron […]

Clearing the Fog

Yesterday didn’t go as planned. I got a text from Alan asking if I wanted to go to the Knick game. I said yes. Last week I was nervous, but the COVID-19 rates are dropping fast. I was tested a few days ago and was negative so I’m not worried about infecting others. I am […]

ESPecially For You

Last Tuesday I attended John Platt’s On Your Radar. I’m closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation. None of the artists, John, or myself have turned up with symptoms. The artists are at the greatest risk as they are unmasked while performing. I would love it if we could have a follow-up from everyone who attended. As […]
