Sorry I’ve been so quiet. I know I barely touched Falcon Ridge but that will wait yet another day so I can write about my adventures the last few days, especially yesterday. I went to a new venue for me, The Sultan Room in Bushwick to see a lineup that might have been designed to […]

Thor: Mensches and Nishgutnicks.

 I’m 65 years old now you’d think I’ve have learned to get myself to blog every day, yet somehow, I have lost that ability I used to have. Is this an effect of aging? This need to be studied. Who should I apply to for the research grant? Let’s go back to the distant past, […]

Dan Doesn’t Know How to Use an Umbrella

How am I supposed to remember all the way back to yesterday? Blogging is hard. Wait, it’s coming to me, I went to a concert! I bet most of My Gentle Readers guessed that. It was a great one, Liz Hanley was joined by Eamon (rhymes with hey hun) O’Leary and Jefferson Hamer. It was […]

A Quest for Great Music

Yesterday did not start off well, my therapist canceled for the second time in a row. As I can get off on an insanity plea for the next week, I suggest you be very nice to me. I am very trusting that people will understand when I’m joking. Fortunately, my other mental health treatment, live […]

From Vienna to the Citi

I’m finally catching up on my blogging. There is no reason I didn’t do this earlier other than lack of energy and my issues initiating action. I’ve had an action packed few days. Well, OK, not that action-packed but enough that my body is aching. On Sunday I went with Fred and his friend Josephine […]
