Certified Cannoli Connoisseur

Here’s the problem, I was so busy yesterday I didn’t have time to write. That means I have too much to write about today when I’m also busy. Finding the perfect blogging/life balance is difficult. The first half of my Saturday double header was the New York Cannoli Crawl. This started at the ungodly hour […]

Live From There

I had good reasons to start writing this late. I was out late, I slept late, I had to watch part one of Crisis on Infinite Earths, then the aftershow, then I cleaned out the fridge and took a shower. That took me to 40 minutes ago. I have no excuse for not writing then. […]

On the Wrong Track

I expected to have more to write about today, but last night’s plans were waylaid by the MTA. Molsky’s Mountain Drifters played at Jenkins House Concerts on the upper west side. I was looking forward to seeing Bruce Molsky and it’s been way to long since I’ve seen the Jenkins clan. Somebody put a curse […]

It’s Always Sunny in Kathryn’s Place

I’m still fighting to get on a proper sleep schedule. I have two cups of coffee in me, so I should have enough focus to write without dozing off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That was a joke, but I have dozed off while writing and found pages and pages of single letters repeated from my fingers resting on […]

No, I Don’t Mean Aslan

I’m still having major sleep issues. Last night the problem was not being able to sleep. Let’s see if I can fix my sleep schedule by not napping the rest of the day and going to sleep at a reasonable hour tonight. My mother would say that I have a guilty conscience. I suspect that’s […]

Feathers and Banana Nose

I spent much of my therapy session discussing how I am having problems staying awake. I slept till noon this morning. I went to bed at 1 AM. This is becoming a real problem. How did I get by at NERFA? I’ve had two cups of coffee and if I let myself, I could fall […]

Byrd Watching

It’s a lot easier to blog when I’ve done something the day before. Sadly, those are also the days that I think of the philosophical topics to write about that I always forget by the time it comes to write after a slow day. I could get meta and write about that; except I did […]

Radar Delayed is Not Radar Denied

Sorry I’m a day late writing about John Platt’s On Your Radar, at least I’m not a dollar short. This comes from not being able to finish the blog on my NERFA discoveries on Tuesday, so I had to write that yesterday. Good thing I didn’t do anything worth writing about yesterday. I never even […]

The Silver NERFA

I’m back from the 25th NERFA which means back to blogging. NERFA is one of the major holidays in my calendar. Every year I make the pilgrimage to the gathering of my tribe. That’s what it’s about, everything else is details. Part of the ritual is the journey. Since it moved to Stamford my default […]

So Sumi

Last night was the last of three consecutive evenings hearing live music, the performer was Annie Sumi at River Spirit Music aka Peter and Paula’s house in Hastings. It takes a bus, a walk, a train, and getting picked up in a car, to get there but it’s still a home game. Annie was one […]
