My plan was to write during the Met game, but I got too involved in the game. The Mets are now up 8-1 in the 8th I can pull myself away. And with that the Mets go up 11-1. I am an essential member of the Mets. I missed last night’s game and they got […]
Sadly, it looks like my blogging my mainly occur on the weekends for the now. Getting up before 6AM every day takes a lot out of me. Perhaps my body will adjust but I will not assume it will. The Mets are playing on the West Coast, so I didn’t get to sleep until after […]
I have to get back into a writing routine. Blogging about school is bringing up ancient childhood reflex reactions. Mother: How was school?Child: OK Father: What happened at school today? Child: Nothing What are you idiot stories? On Thursday I got the key to my classroom. On Friday I forgot it. We keep it locked […]
Let’s see if I can brain juggle, watch the Mets on TV, and write at the same time. I’m starting during a commercial to give myself a running start. What exciting things did I do yesterday? Nothing. I stayed home and watched the Mets. I considered going to Brooklyn to see Dayna Kurtz. I haven’t […]
Last night I saw one of the best concerts of my life, Talisk at Rockwood Music Hall. It was so great that instead of my usual clever opening that buries the lede I put this right up front so people seeing the preview will read this. It’s imperative that everyone that loves great music know […]
Last night I went to a concert, that’s not unusual. What is unusual is who I saw and where I saw it. It was Elvis Costello at the Pier 17 Rooftop. Me seeing a dinosaur of Rock and Roll not named Richard Thompson? Yes, as much folk as I listen to, I’m still a rocker. […]
It’s been almost a week; I better write about Falcon Ridge before it’s time for next year’s festival. Do I remember anything? Enough. I am not going to do my usual play my play of the festival. This year I went as a civilian; there was no Budgiedome and I didn’t even bring my real […]
Sorry I’ve been so quiet. I know I barely touched Falcon Ridge but that will wait yet another day so I can write about my adventures the last few days, especially yesterday. I went to a new venue for me, The Sultan Room in Bushwick to see a lineup that might have been designed to […]
I’m back from Falcon Ridge. I was too tired to write yesterday now I’m pressed for time but will do my best. The adventure started before I left home. My ride had a family emergency and suddenly there was no way to get to Falcon Ridge and to make it worse he has my camping […]
This week is off to a good start. Sunday night The Mets beat the Padres 8-5, breaking out of their scoring slump. They did this to make me look brilliant; Met manager Buck Showalter finally took my advice and started Guillorme over the totally hapless Escobar and inserted the newest Met, Vogelbach in as DH. […]
