Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. Last you heard from me I was planning on going to see The Ladles at Sunny’s in Red Hook Brooklyn. It had been on my calendar since it was announced. They are one of my favorite bands and I have […]

I don’t write and things happen. Let’s set the wayback machine to February 14, 2023, the place Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. Hey Mr. Peabody, why then? That’s when John Platt presented the most recent edition of On Your Radar Sherman. I am still obsessed with 60-year-old cartoons. I have a routine now for OYR […]

What Do I Teach
I have an hour and a half break now. That’s a good reason to write. This morning I proctored an exam; that was depressing even though it wasn’t my class. Out of 13 students only 7 showed up and one never tried to answer anything. All math teachers need to be reminded that this isn’t […]

I have a good excuse for not writing yesterday, I hurt myself. On Wednesday I stopped at Aldi on the way home. For the second time I missed my st0p. It’s in the Bronx but way south of my house and I get there much faster than my brain has been trained to look where […]
I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]
Yay! I’m writing two days in a row. Let’s see if I can go back to doing this every day. Blogging is part of my sense of self. What else are parts of my sense of self? I was going to say DJ but that’s part of my man about folk. I’m a radical empiricist. […]
Yesterday took place primarily inside my head, perhaps every day takes place primarily in my head, perhaps everybody’s day takes place primarily in their heads. I still have not decided where this entry is going but those thoughts are what yesterday was about; at least until the Met game started. I have my priorities. It […]
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 […]
I didn’t leave the house yesterday and I’m blogging anyway. I hope I don’t hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back. Of course, not leaving the house is a bad thing. As I was about to get ready to go shopping my phone rang and decided my mental health needed the call more than […]
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 […]
