Radar Love

Yay, I have things to write about. There’s music, there’s friends, and there’s medical news. Let’s play this backwards and start in the evening. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The original lineup included two Budgiedome alumni, Martin Swinger and Quarter Horse. Then with less […]

Not Looking Good but Looking Well

I’m not sure how this will go but I’m going to attempt a limited vision edition of Wise Madness. This is the story of my cataract surgery. I had to be at the hospital at 6 which meant getting up at 5. I tried to go to sleep early but to no avail. That lack […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

(The Sea)²

Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.

Levi’s Genes

I’m starting on my slate of medical appointments that I made a few weeks ago as I try to make up for years of neglect. Medicaid is wonderful. I don’t need to worry about any out of pocket expenses. For me that’s huge, it goes beyond financials to my anxiety issues. It’s one less thing […]

I Saw Jill Kissing Maria

A few days ago I said that I had nothing planned. I was wrong. I have something planned for every day. Yesterday’s plans were made on the fly. First I went over to see Jane who is in from Portland to take care of things at the apartment she’s trying to sell. We didn’t get […]

Christmas Eve with a Side of Soy

I gotta late start today, I got out of bed at 1PM. I didn’t wake up on Christmas morning hours before the winter’s sun’s ignited; but I do believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven’s generosity. I know what day it is. Last you heard I was heading out to spend an exciting […]

Stuck in the Middle

I wimped out last night. My plan was to see Aviv Roth at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture but I was tired and did not feel up the trip to Brooklyn. I don’t think other people feel guilty about things like that. I do. I haven’t seen Aviv perform in ages, I don’t like […]

My Arch Tradition

Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]
