Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]

As the title shows today’s topic is compare and contrast House of Hamill and poutine. That saves me from correcting the 847 misunderstandings of medicine and economics I’ve read on FB this morning. I’m resisting even giving one liners, though many can be covered by, “I don’t think that word means what you think it […]

Dateline Upper Darby: Last you heard I was on a bus to Philadelphia. I made it alive! I know that sounds like an epic achievement but please hold your applause until the end of the entry. LORi picked me at by 30th Street Station, we did a few shopping stops and headed back to her […]
This is going to be difficult to write. I’m having an outbreak of annoyance with people and I’ve been expressing this annoyance. I’m not being overcritical, my critiques are right on as far as I can see, even in retrospect. The problem is that I’ve been too free to express them. Saying something stupid is […]
I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]

My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I left the house yesterday, that will make things easier. For the first time I did what I consider my default Sunday plan, going to An Beal Bocht for their traditional Irish session. The easiest way to get there is walking but it’s a long walk, half an hour. I […]
I have things to write about! I went out last night! I talked to friends! My totally involuntary August hiatus is sort of over. It’s not as my schedule is still light. At least today I don’t have to struggle to find something to write. Last night I went to Rockwood Music HallStage 3 for […]

Ivers Got a Secret
I finally finished writing about Falcon Ridge so I can now move on to other things. After spending six days surrounded by friends I have been almost totally isolated since then. I spoke to Bri on the phone once and saw my therapist yesterday. I had enough Falcon Ridge glow that I didn’t feel that […]
In therapy Friday I complained that I had nothing to do this weekend. Then things turned up, Friday night I went to Lincoln Center and last night to Carnegie Hall. Like the woman in front of me on the line to see Shakespeare in the Park in 1980, I am a culture vulture. She spoke […]
