It’s a lot easier to blog when I’ve done something the day before. Sadly, those are also the days that I think of the philosophical topics to write about that I always forget by the time it comes to write after a slow day. I could get meta and write about that; except I did […]

Yesterday was a good and long day. Let’s see if I can stay awake while I write this. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Fridays mean therapy up in Harrison. Getting there was frustrating. The bus from the Harrison train station to the hospital never came. I had to take a cab. If I hadn’t waited for the bus I […]
Sorry I’m a day late writing about John Platt’s On Your Radar, at least I’m not a dollar short. This comes from not being able to finish the blog on my NERFA discoveries on Tuesday, so I had to write that yesterday. Good thing I didn’t do anything worth writing about yesterday. I never even […]
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 […]
The Silver NERFA
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 […]
From Sickbed to NERFA
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 […]
So Sumi
Last night was the last of three consecutive evenings hearing live music, the performer was Annie Sumi at River Spirit Music aka Peter and Paula’s house in Hastings. It takes a bus, a walk, a train, and getting picked up in a car, to get there but it’s still a home game. Annie was one […]
I usually decry those people that complain that some event is so tradition shattering that it portends the end of civilization. The only thing that doesn’t change, is that there is always change, or so I thought. But I was wrong, there is a tradition that’s sacred to me and shattering it does portend the […]
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. […]
Last night I went to see Madeleine Peyroux. That’s a lede, short, direct, and to the point. Thanks to that I can now wander around. I won the tickets through the WFUV Member Line. This is a great perk of membership that I don’t take advantage of often enough. You can win once a month. […]
