Yesterday I went on a musical extra-inning double-header. In the afternoon I saw Lohengrin with Carey, Barbara, and Charles. Do all of my Gentle Readers know that I love opera and especially love Wagner? It has not been an active part of my life for a while but my love for it never goes on […]

A miracle I’m writing. Work has been frustrating, I’ll leave it at that. O friends, no more these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, more full of joy! Raise your hand if you know what I am quoting. Why do I always see the same hands? Yes, it’s the introduction to Ode to Joy […]
Yesterday’s adventure was traveling north to see the Richard Thompson at Tarrytown Music Hall. I could not afford the tickets but out of the blue my friend Connie bought me one because she knows that he is tied with Rhiannon Giddens as my favorite of favorites.

Yesterday was a busy day; I better get busy writing. My first stop was the Social Security Administration Card Center. I have to replace my card which was in my stolen wallet. I had no luck doing it online, that’s not the SSA’s fault, it’s because of my unusual circumstances. I got frustrated when I […]
Occasionally there are benefits to being me. I got an email from WFUV on Thursday asking me if I wanted tickets to see Richard Thompson on Friday night. RT is tied with Rhiannon Giddens for my favorite of favorites and I was free so of course I said yes. I went with my WFUV volunteering […]
