I was supposed to take a walk and go shopping today, instead I’m blogging and listening to the Met game. Hopefully, you’ll view my loss as your gain. Maybe I’ll get out for a shorter walk later. It’s such a beautiful day. I’m going out tonight to see Alex Wong and Vienna Teng. Yesterday I […]

Yesterday was Friday, it’s May, that means you should have a reasonable guess where I was yesterday, the Sunset Singing Circle, led by the inimitable Terre Roche. Is that true? Is it impossible to imitate Terre? I suspect that Suzzy could do a reasonable job. How about the remarkable Terre Roche? That’s certainly true. I […]

Radar Love
The problem with missing a day blogging is that I have to remember what happened two days ago. That’s more than a mayfly lifetime. You’ll have to forgive me I’ll have to leave out the things I forgot. Today is Thursday, counting backward on my fingers leads me to believe that two days ago was […]
It’s 8:16, a nice early start for writing. What do you mean it’s 8:16 PM? Oh well; need brooks no delay but late is better than never. I’m back to having adventures. Yesterday I traveled to my ancestral homeland of Fort Greene Brooklyn. I only lived there three months but that was my favorite neighborhood […]

Janis Ian and the Other Brothers
I’m getting back to my usual life. On Thursday WFUV gave me a pair of tickets to see Janis Ian and Friends at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. Over a space of nine days, I’m seeing four concerts, Alkemie, Lucius, Janis Ian, and tonight Hannah Read. I also saw two Met games. Sadly, […]
On Sunday I went to my second Met game of the season. Horror of horrors, because of a train delay I missed first pitch. On the plus side I remembered to bring my own food, a ham and cheese hero and popcorn. Popcorn is my official baseball game snack food. I’m not sure what would […]

Medieval Times
There’s nothing like seeing a musical act for the first time and falling in love. That happened last night, I saw Alkemie, Medieval Musical Ensemble. Which of My Gentle Readers knew this is the kind of thing I love? Which of you love it too? The only reason I knew about it is that Fiona […]

Uncommon Ground
It is so much easier to blog when I have actual adventures. Yesterday I ventured up to the frozen tundra of Dobbs Ferry to see the Mark Erelli and Abbie Gardner at the Common Ground Coffeehouse’s temporary home at the South Presbyterian Church. I’m the official “cute merch guy”. We have it down to a […]
How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]
I had philosophical points to make but I’m going to just talk about good things today. It’s a little cool, 58º but the sun is shining bright and I’m going to my first Met game of the season. We can always find bad things going on, there are always bad things going on, but we […]
