Swing and a Miss

Yesterday was another busy day. It started with going up to Harrison NY in Westchester for therapy. I walked from the train station to the hospital as the stupid Westchester bus runs only once an hour. I of course don’t mind that as I’m trying to walk every day. It was nice seeing my therapist […]

The Return of My Life

Live music’s back and Gordon got it. Yesterday was as Gordon a day as you can have; there is even an idiot story. The Kennedys did their first in person show in 16 months so I was there even though getting there and home again involved walking 7 miles. The show was at Rye Town […]

The Irish are Now in Session

I’m back! I heard live music two nights in a row! Last night I went to Mary O’s for their Thursday night Irish Session. I tried to go to last week’s Thursday night Irish Session, but I had a flaw in my plan, it was Friday. The devil is in the details. Sadly, that means […]

Marvel at Thanatolgy

Where did today go? Why didn’t I write earlier? Once again I’m caught in a spacetime vortex. Do these things happen to other people? Is this what happened to Amelia Earhart? Are they going to find her sitting at a computer saying, “Where did the last 84 years ago? Why did I get on this […]

Baseball, Food, and Music: The Holy Trinity

Here’s a peek inside my brain. I just read something on Facebook that got me mad. Ten seconds later I have no idea what it was. I’m not going to go back and try and find it. It was neither politics nor baseball, the two topics that generate the most posts that offend me. Guess […]

Religious Pilgrimage

Yesterday was another post-pandemic first. I traveled to a concert that wasn’t in somebody’s yard or porch. I went into deep-dark New Jersey to see Richard Thompson and Zara Phillips. The show was in Woodbridge, and it took me over two hours to get there, subway, to Jersey Transit train, to a mile walk. I […]

Jubilation I’m Happy Again

Yesterday was amazing, the sun coming out after a storm, a feast after a fast, the weekend after a tough work week. It was part music festival and part family reunion. It was the Make Music Ditmas Park porch concert. I’ve been to porch concerts before, many last  year, but this one was an event. […]

I used to have things to write about

I’m not dead! Sorry I haven’t posted. I’m apologize the most to myself. This has not been good selfcare. I have spent so much of the last few days sleeping. I’m going to have to discuss this with my psychiatrist. Is it my meds? It doesn’t feel like it. I had med related sleepiness and […]

Musical Infusion

Yesterday I had my infusion. The car showed up early, but I was ready. It fit in my plan as after I was dropped off I went across the street from the infusion center to get bagels. I can’t get it after because they close at 3:30. I still checked in way early. I don’t […]
