Adventures in Red Hook

I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]

Music, Trains, and Theft

I’m not tired this morning. Maybe I can catch up on my blogging. It’s now Tuesday and I’m only up to blogging about Saturday. I’ve been doing blogworthy things every day since then. Once again perhaps I’ll compress in an attempt to catch up. Saturday I was off to day 2 of the first annual […]

Enumerating What Happened on Friday

It’s Monday and I haven’t written since Thursday. I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to catch up on. I’m not sure how I’ll do this, go light on details or write multiple entries or one very long entry. None of those appeal to me. I’ll improvise like Pat Mahomes on a […]

I Loved The Ordeal

I went out last night; that means I have something to write about. If I didn’t want other people to read this I could just blog about what I ate. If I had a more varied diet that might get other people to read it but how many times can I write about a seasoned […]

Close to the Center

Today is Mozart’s birthday so my writing soundtrack is Die Zauberflöte. I’m trying to be consistent and use the original language version of Opera titles. The world has not been consistent during my lifetime. Growing up it was always The Magic Flute but never The Rhine Gold. I still can’t say The Girl of the […]

Not the Partridge Family

I’m very happy that I managed to get myself out of the house yesterday and down to Brooklyn to see Steph Jenkins at a solar powered house concert. You can take that as solar-powered-house concert or solar-powered house-concert. They are both accurate. The house it was held in is solar powered, courtesy of Brooklyn SolarWorks. […]

Power of the Clipboard

Time for me to stop procrastinating and write. After all these years of therapy and this still happens. It’s pretty deeply embedded in my psyche. Yesterday was Friday so I went to therapy. Sometimes things come together. Anything exciting happen there? Nothing? Really? Not that I can think of. I did do two things I […]

Whisperado

I have things to write about today including more on the crime of the century, my wallet being snatched. I got a call from the detective working my case; he asked me to come down to the station to view videotape. This was not the same station I went to the night of the crime, […]

Lead Us Not Into Penn Station

Occasionally there are benefits to being me. I got an email from WFUV on Thursday asking me if I wanted tickets to see Richard Thompson on Friday night. RT is tied with Rhiannon Giddens for my favorite of favorites and I was free so of course I said yes. I went with my WFUV volunteering […]

Musical Blips

I’m starting this early, 9:02 AM. Maybe that means I’ll get things done today. I’m less tired than I’ve been most mornings of late. I’ll hope for the best. Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I was at John Platt’s On Your Radar; the guests were Blue Plate Special, Orly […]
