What to write today? I’ll make it easy on myself and start with the terrifying tale of the washer that ate my laundry. On Saturday I finally gathered enough motivation to do my laundry. I had so much I couldn’t do it all and I still have the white clothes to do. I packed it […]

I’m back to the blahs. I’m not as bad as I was on Thursday but I’m not right either. I was proactive yesterday and forced myself to take a walk. It was a beautiful day again and I know that helps. Unfortunately, the GPS on my phone got turned off so I don’t know how […]
Happy Independence Day! Like half my friends I started celebrating a day early by watching Hamilton. It’s as good a celebration of America as there is. Want to say something good about America? It produced Lin-Manuel Miranda. He combines serious history, with brilliant music. People notice the rap, but there’s so much more. There are […]
I’m being good and writing before I eat breakfast. Three cheers for me. I wrote last night so not much has happened since then but yesterday I got on my wearing a mask hobby horse and missed other things. When I went shopping on Wednesday I didn’t bring a cart and carried everything in my […]
I went on a shopping expedition yesterday. I have become someone less virtuous and took the bus both ways. If I go on Sundays the bus is not the limited which makes fewer stops. The local stops at the end of my block instead of having to walk half a mile. That was too hard […]

But one of the dreams was uneasy. I was Rodin’s Thinker, and somebody placed me in the bed, and I rolled on my side […]

Hey Kids Let’s Put on a Show!
I am tempted to not write today but I’m not going to write tomorrow so I should. I have a good reason to not go tomorrow. I’m going on a Cannoli Crawl with Alison Scola in the morning. You can join me, New York Cannoli Crawl – Experience Sicily. I’m listening to the original off-Broadway […]
As it’s snowing this looks like a don’t get out of my jammies kinda day. I have food and for once I have milk and eggs. I always seem to run out of them when snow is coming and then have trouble finding them as people think that if it snows there will never be […]

I’m trying something different, writing this directly on WordPress using their text editor We’ll see how this comes out. I want to write more about Hamilton. It’s one of the landmark musicals, one that represents something truly new. It’s remarkable how it accomplished that while staying true to many recent musicals, by using traditional forms. The […]
