Joy

There was drama on the feline home front. Our cat Lefty died a week-and-a-half ago. Our other cat Dusty has been acting differently ever since. They were littermates but never close. It still changed the dynamic in the house. She started exploring new areas of the apartment, most noticeably on top of the refrigerator. I […]

I Bombed

Yesterday was a more than a bit stochastic. When Lefty died, he left us with fleas. The vet cleaned up Dusty, the other cat and told us to bomb the house. That’s bug bomb. I have wanted to set off a bug bomb since I was a kid. Don’t look at me that way; it’s […]

It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Tucci Swing

Yesterday I had the most me day since the plague started. In the afternoon I had therapy via phone, I’ve done that all along. The me part was the evening. I met Katherine at The Porch to see Tucci Swing. I’ve met Katherine at the Porch already this year and I’ve seen Tucci Swing before. […]

Koosman, Katherine, and Deb

The problem with doing things worth writing about is that it gives me less time to write. Sunday’s plans didn’t allow me to write about Saturday’s Met game. I’m going to do something today I used to do often, tell the stories visually. I’m also going to do something that I’ve only done of late, […]

Eye of the Pyramid

What adventures have I had since I posted yesterday? Yesterday something momentous happened on yesterday’s Donut Walk™, I got to Krispy Kreme and didn’t go in! It was just a walk. Why? Three reasons. First, I didn’t really feel like a donut. Second, I’ve been working on walking faster and didn’t want to break my […]

Leave the Porch Light On

I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]

The LunÀtico Is Not On the Grass

Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]

Jovial Music

Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]

Canine Comforting

I’m writing this while using my chair’s headrest. It is shaped exactly like a cat. It even purrs and triggers my cat allergy. I have to be very careful about not touching my eyes. Let’s see if she can help me write; What’s that you say? “Meow?’ I don’t think that’s the word I’m looking […]
