Bye Bye Love

I traveled 43 miles by train yesterday. That seems short but it’s what the Google Maps summary says. I might be misinterpreting it. It was a peripatetic day. As most Fridays do it started with therapy, or more accurately getting to therapy. Yesterday that means walking half a mile and taking a bus half a […]

Adventures in Red Hook

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 […]

Not the Partridge Family

I’m very happy that I managed to get myself out of the house yesterday and down to Brooklyn to see Steph Jenkins at a solar powered house concert. You can take that as solar-powered-house concert or solar-powered house-concert. They are both accurate. The house it was held in is solar powered, courtesy of Brooklyn SolarWorks. […]

Power of the Clipboard

Time for me to stop procrastinating and write. After all these years of therapy and this still happens. It’s pretty deeply embedded in my psyche. Yesterday was Friday so I went to therapy. Sometimes things come together. Anything exciting happen there? Nothing? Really? Not that I can think of. I did do two things I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Carolann and Joe in the Bri’s

Hey I’m starting to write at 8:08; if that were AM it would be great. As it is, it will be a miracle if I remember anything that happened yesterday. Let’s hope for a miracle. At least I remember what I did, I headed to The Pronoia Community Project in Clifton, NJ, to see Carolann […]

No Fuss and Feathers or Hell

I went to see No Fuss and Feathers at Spiral Sounds Concerts last night so I have something to write about. Whew. Vamping was getting tough. Two entries ago I told you how I lost one of my Mets caps less than three weeks into the season. What I forgot to tell you is that […]
