Wise Madness
Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. I didn’t discover any new music, why? I’m knew all the performers, Robinson & Rohe, Mosa, and Fred Arcoleo. I have a commuting idiot story, I had to meet Carey before the show at Penn Station. That’s convenient as […]
My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]
Last night I went to my first Knick game of the season. The Knicks are not good; the technical term is bad. Going into last night’s game their record was 3-10. They were playing another bad team, the Cleveland Cavaliers who were 4-8. Vegas had the Knicks as 2-point favorites. FiveThirtyEight had the Knicks as […]
I’ve been busy on another project. Now let’s see if I have time to write about my NERFA discoveries. The order within tiers is alphabetical I’ll use my usual Tier classification. Tier 1 Les Royal Pickles: As you can pick up from their name, they are French Canadian, and they are loads of fun. Their […]
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 […]
I’ve had health issues the last few days, a Crohn’s attack and a cold at the same time. This was a true Crohn’s attack, inflammation, not an obstruction caused by scarring from previous attacks. The symptoms are hard to describe; it’s not painful; more than anything it’s enervating. I spend most of my time drifting […]
I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]
My plan was to see Mama’s Broke, one of my top NERFA discoveries. They are a trad duo from Nova Scotia. Google Maps said I would be a little late but I managed to do better than it thought possible. When I arrived I saw Howard in the audience. He loves Canadian bands and I had recommended that he go.
I didn’t think I’d be writing this morning as I have to leave the house before I start writing on most days but it looks like somehow I’m pulling this off. Now I have to stay on task so I can both write and eat. Yesterday’s adventure was seeing The Sea The Sea at Rockwood […]
