Shall Thyself Find Blessing

Greetings My Gentle Readers and all the ships at sea. I’ve returned from the dead. Fine, I wasn’t dead, I was just very sore and lacking in time and energy. Now I’m just a little sore, have some time, and have 32 oz of coffee energy in me. That should be wearing off but I’m […]

Moving Singing with the Terrettes

Yesterday was a mental health day; I had appointments with both my psychiatrist and therapist. In the evening I had the best emotional therapy the Friday night Sunset Singing Circle with Terre Roche. I thought it was my last time seeing my therapist. I was wrong, it was the penultimate session. I wasted much of […]

Singing with the Tribe

Yesterday was Friday, it’s May, that means you should have a reasonable guess where I was yesterday, the Sunset Singing Circle, led by the inimitable Terre Roche. Is that true? Is it impossible to imitate Terre? I suspect that Suzzy could do a reasonable job. How about the remarkable Terre Roche? That’s certainly true. I […]

The Singing Idiot

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Do you think EL&P would work on Gord’s Gold? I will take that dirty look as a no. Do I have Gentle Readers that have no idea what I’m talking about? It’s the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer song Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression Part 2. […]

Party Like It’s 2020

The after I had to skip blogging because I didn’t have enough time I had sleep issues and couldn’t start blogging until 3:18. Sometimes things aren’t fair. Even now I’m fighting to stay alert enough to write. Am I starting with to excuse any problems with this entry? Not consciously. I always feel the need […]

The Carol of the Village

Last night I went Christmas caroling with Terre Roche and friends, both Terre’s and mine. This is a highlight of every year and this year is no exception. Terre has been doing this every year since 1978 or so. I started in 1990, took a break when I lost touch with Terre and didn’t know […]

The Zen of Politics

Yesterday I stayed home and never got out of my pjs. Why? I’m an idiot; I was supposed to go to a latke party at Carol and Jeff’s house. I remembered that one minute before it was supposed to start. They live an hour and a half away so that wasn’t going to happen. I […]

Between the Drive and the Caroling

The three day WFUV member drive is over, so my life is back to normal. The plan yesterday was to volunteer for seven hours, 6 AM – 1 PM and then go to therapy. Then my therapist had to cancel. I figured I’d stay until 1 and then go shopping. But the supervisor that was […]
