Yesterday was Christmas, I got a delivery from Peapod. The texted me the night before and narrowed the delivery window to two hours. I got a text when it was on the way. I got a text when he got to the building. All done great. He came to my door, rang the bell, and […]

I guess I’m going to have to accept that I’m going to skip days blogging now. I have more time to write but less to write about. Turns out that material is the limiting factor. Maybe I should start news in review posts discussing the day’s major stories. I’ll think about that. If I could […]
Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]
Your Humble Diarist awoke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a sleepy awake person. It was not the dreams; it was my usual combination of digestive and breathing issues. 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 […]
One advantage to iced coffee season is that I don’t have to make coffee in the morning. Making coffee before I’ve had my first cup of coffee is always a challenge. This way it’s already made and I just drink it. I don’t even have to wait to breakfast; I’m writing this fully caffeinated. I […]
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 […]
The rain let up enough yesterday for me to venture out to Bagel Bob’s for 55¢ bagels. That price is only on Mondays from 4 – 7. So yes, I travel from the Bronx to Greenwich Village for half-priced bagels. I follow that with a stop at the Trader Joe’s in the neighborhood. I’m not […]
Yesterday’s adventure was going to the surgeon. As a change of pace the trip there went smoothly. I had no long waits for the train or bus and both had clear sailing. That meant I arrived at the office early. There are two possible directions the nurse can come from to get me; they are […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month, My Gentle Readers should know where I was. That’s right, John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were Plywood Cowboy, Sophie Buskin, and Genevieve. OYR is always a home game. I decided last night that I’m not going to give my usual list of friends in the audience, I’m going to just give you a count. You know you should add at least one to the total as I always forget people. I just counted 15. The room holds only 60 and that count doesn’t include John and his wife Sheila. And then there were the performers.
I spent the night with two breathe right on and it helped. I’m not exhausted. I’m going to do this till I run out of my supply of medium strips. Being able to breathe is not a luxury. I have two items in my ideas bin, one a very serious examination of prejudice and public […]
