Aurora Saxealis.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. Considering the heat, doing anything in a timely manner was beyond the call of duty. The real reason it was late was that yesterday there was a concert to go to, Aurora Nealand at Sunny’s in Brooklyn. Why have I never written about Aurora despite the great name? It’s even […]

I Like Mic

Monday’s adventure was a quest for a working microphone. Starting Sunday night, I got error messages when I plugged mine into the computer. It said that the USB was drawing more power than was available. I tried every USB port on the computer and the same thing happened. I crowdsourced a solution and found two […]

A MEGnifiscent Day.

Wednesday was a major milestone in the return to real life; in the afternoon I went to the Met game and in the evening saw Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall and went out to dinner afterward with the gang. That’s a lot of goodness for one day. I love day baseball; we need more […]

What Rhymes with Madonna and is Clear as a Bell?

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Now I have a lot to write about. I’ve back to being a live music junky. Monday? What did I do Monday? that was so long ago. I know I went to see Michaela Anne at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. There were train issues, so I got there only shortly […]

Miwa Castor & Pollux

Last night I went to see Miwa Gemini at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. That was easy to write, not so easy to accomplish. The show was at seven and it takes me about fifty minutes to get there so I left a little before six. I would have left more before six if I […]

Wailin’ not Pirate Jennys

I didn’t blog yesterday. I hate when I don’t blog especially on a day that I didn’t leave the house. We’ll count that as a loss and move on that’s a key to winning baseball and life, play one game at a time. On Thursday I did do something worth writing about and even have […]

No Fuss and Feathers, Makes a Great Day

I have no excuse for not blogging until 2:19 PM on a day where I have to make a shopping trek and then go out tonight. Now that I got my guilt out of the way I’ll talk about yesterday’s actual adventure. I not only left New York City but I crossed the Hudson River. […]

Meditations on Depression with Eggs

I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]

Getting Back in the Writing Habit

So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]

Solstice Celebration

Sadly, I did not carol on the winter solstice. Happily, I still got together with Katherine. We met at the Union Square holiday market. I’m such a sucker for those; I don’t know why but I enjoy them. Part of it is that the people that run the shops are interesting, they live nomadic live […]
