Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]

Go Hudson West Young Man and Young Woman

Last night I went to the third annual Hudson West Folk Festival. That’s my excuse for not writing yesterday, I’m the head of the merch volunteers, well duh, so I wanted to get there early. Turns out I couldn’t do much merch stuff for the first two hours but helped with set up or perhaps […]

Great Day for a Concert; Let’s Hear Two!

Last night I had a musical doubleheader. Months ago Emily Mure announced the date for her EP release, September 12. Then Joe Iadanza told me the date for his album release, September 12. I thought I had something for that date but wasn’t sure what. Then I saw it was Emily’s EP release and was […]

Gathering of the Clans

I’m in the midst of a socializing frenzy. After going weeks without seeing another soul I’m now seeing friends almost every day. Yesterday’s event was Joe’s 70th birthday party. For the fourth time in two weeks I found myself heading out to Allison and Joe’s house on the wrong side of the Hudson, aka New […]

Moor or Less

I’m getting better at getting out and doing things that aren’t music, my safe space. Last night Katherine and I went to see Othello in Bryant Park. I love their picnic event series. There are chairs on the lawn to the sides of the stage but they provide blankets for those that want to sit […]

El Awrence

Yesterday I did something I have not done in countless years; I went to the movies with Carey. This is noteworthy as it is something that we use to do just about every week. My cataracts were a big part of this, I couldn’t enjoy movies when I couldn’t see. There was more though, just […]

Friend, Food, and Fantasy

I’ve become a late in the day blogger. I prefer writing in the morning because I think that’s easier for My Gentle Readers. Don’t blame me, blame my friends that have eaten into my blogging time. Yesterday Bri called me, today I met Carolyn for lunch. I wouldn’t normally want to blame my friends but […]

See You Latte

How much do I love My Gentle Readers? I didn’t get enough sleep last night and now I’m fighting to stay awake. Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance is beckoning me on Netflix. But I can’t sleep or get immersed in Dark Crystal until I blog. Right after I wrote that sentence I fell asleep. […]

Friends, Music, and Food, aka The Usual

I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]

Music Needs to Follow Orders

The reason I didn’t blog yesterday is that I’m an idiot. I had Word open and was about to write when I got a text from Bri, asking me about parking at Allison’s house. That’s when I realized it was Thursday and I was supposed to be boarding a bus to New Jersey at that […]
