I Never Passover Seeing Christine Lavin

I’m tired but I’ll write even before I eat dinner. Life is returning to normal. Yesterday I went to my first seder since the before times. I made what will hopefully once again be my annual trek to Norwalk Connecticut to celebrate Pesach with my once-a-year family. This year was a bit weird, as we […]

What Rhymes with Madonna and is Clear as a Bell?

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]

Miwa Castor & Pollux

Last night I went to see Miwa Gemini at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. That was easy to write, not so easy to accomplish. The show was at seven and it takes me about fifty minutes to get there so I left a little before six. I would have left more before six if I […]

6s and 7s

Here’s something that renters everywhere, especially ones in New York can relate to. On Thursday, the spout in my bathtub fell off and won’t screw back on. I cannot shower without that as the water just comes out the bare pipe. The part that prevents that is in the spout. I immediately texted my landlord. […]

A Batman

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the movies, I saw The Batman. I almost always go to the same theater, the Magic Johnson on 125th street, I always go to a matinee, and I always go on a Tuesday. Why? It’s the fastest theater to me to get to, half an hour on the D train. […]

Windy City

I wimped out on my walk yesterday. Winter ignored the calendar and came back yesterday. I saw that the feels-like temperature was 19º. I was OK with that. It just meant getting out the cold-weather gear I thought I was done with for the year. I grabbed some shopping bags and started on the two-mile […]

I didn’t blog yesterday. I hate when I don’t blog especially on a day that I didn’t leave the house. We’ll count that as a loss and move on that’s a key to winning baseball and life, play one game at a time. On Thursday I did do something worth writing about and even have […]

Isolation Ward

I just experienced the perfect example of functional depression. I found myself online looking for things to do instead of blogging and preparing Gord’s Gold two things that I love to do.

Lúnasa Excursion Module.

  Last night Dan and I went to see Lúnasa at the Sheen center. Lúnasa is a great Irish band we both love. They were playing with Daoirí (pronounced Derry) Farrell. It’s always difficult to write about the Irish, I have to insert all the accents and explain how to pronounce the names. It’s worth […]

Youth in a Brooklyn Bar

Last night I went to see Youth in a Roman Field at Pete’s Candy Store. I’m making an effort to not bury the lede. No time to do my usual self-flagellation for not posting until it was late. It’s too late for that, so now let’s dive into the epic tale. It was a late […]
