For Auld Lang Syne, My Jo,

Should I apologize for not writing yesterday or just accept that I’m finding it difficult to blog every day? Neither; I asked that question instead. I’m exceptionally good at avoidance. It was Friday in June, so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle. This was the first one this year with beautiful weather at our […]

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 […]

A Batman

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the movies, I saw The Batman. I almost always go to the same theater, the Magic Johnson on 125th street, I always go to a matinee, and I always go on a Tuesday. Why? It’s the fastest theater to me to get to, half an hour on the D train. […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Today I’m writing while listening to the Met game; let’s see how that works out. I can tell this is one of those days I’m going to have to force myself to go out and take my walk. I also have to do laundry. Will I find the motivation? You’ll find out the day after […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Yesterday’s adventure was the penultimate Sunset Singing Circle. I had missed two weeks in a row, one week it wasn’t held and the next week I got sick; I needed my fix. Fred and I always eat at The View at Battery Park before the show; yesterday morning when I tried to make a reservation […]

My Gut: literal and figurative

Guess who is having another intestinal obstruction episode? Come on guess. Nobody? It’s me. I woke up feeling fine. I was hungry and ready to eat. I got up, stopped at the bathroom, and boom, it hit me. It’s relatively mild but it’s still there. As this is two weeks in a row I think […]

A Dinner with a View

Yesterday was Friday so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle at Wagner Park. This made four weeks in a row and I still get a kick out of each one. I changed it up by leaving earlier and walking down from the Broadway Lafayette station. I was going to precede it with my donut […]

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. […]

Friday Nights are for Singing

A miracle. I’m writing in the morning before breakfast and even coffee. I used to do this all the time, maybe I can get back to it. It helps that yesterday I went out and did things. It was Friday in May or June so if you ever want to bet where I’ll be bet […]
