Give the Day an F

I hit my trifecta yesterday, food, friends, and some synonym for music that starts with an f. Oh wait, this gets even better. Let me try again. Yesterday I hit the trifecta food, friends, and Friction Farm. Does that mean the day gets an F? Friction Farm, Christine Stay and Aiden Quinn, are erstwhile New […]

The North Wind

Bienvenue mes gentils lecteurs. I’m greeting you in French because last night I saw Le Vent Du Nord, a band from Quebec, and Google Translate does not include Québécois. I’m jumping ahead of myself, as always on Fridays I headed up to Harrison for therapy. That’s in no way convenient but I love my therapist. […]

What Do I Love More Than Love

Last night I had an early celebration of my birthday as Kevin took me to see Dar Williams with Susan Werner opening. That should be all I need to write, the rest you can figure out for yourself. Just as 2 + 3 = 5; Dar + Susan = Great Time. Sure I just saw […]

I had my second glass of iced coffee, this one with ice cream instead of ice, so I’m ready to tackle my second blog of the day. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. It was the second Tuesday of July and that […]

Fire in the Streets

I’m off to the New Bedford Folk Festival today. Too bad my digestive system is unhappy. It’s an obstruction from the scar tissue in my small intestine. This time I didn’t eat anything stupid. I’m just paying for a lifetime of Crohn’s disease. All the years I had no insurance and as off meds did […]

The Deirdre, the Christine, and the Idiot.

Today you get to read about great music, great friends, and me being an idiot. Why do I think it’s the last that you’ll find the most entertaining? As is usual for Fridays I went to therapy. Does therapist/patient confidentiality go both way? May I repeat the story that demonstrates that she’s a sociopath? I […]

Walk on the Wild Side

I almost let the heat stop me but I went out for my walk yesterday. I left late, close to 7 PM. There are two advantages to that, one it’s cooler, two there is little risk of sunburn. Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun. I went on the Bronx Forest […]
