I’m back to blogging, did you miss me? There was a series of titles I was going to use but have no forgotten them all. I’ll just attempt a brief recap of this year’s Thanksgiving which like all Thanksgivings with the Van Mercs, was the best Thanksgiving ever. Last you heard from me I was […]

I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]
I had another pre-pandemic typical day. Yesterday’s adventure was going to Common Ground Coffeehouse to see The Murphy Beds. Even though they are a pain for the carless to get to shows at Common Ground are home games; I’m one of the volunteers. It helps that Carter’s taste is the closest to mine of any […]
Yesterday’s adventure was getting my flu shot. The tough part for me was filling out the insurance info while making my reservation at CVS. I know I have Medicaid but filling out the info still gives me anxiety. CVS has all my information; I get my prescriptions there. I wish there was a check-off box […]

No Work
I didn’t get the job. I decided to tear the band-aid off. I didn’t even expect to hear from them until next week instead I heard yesterday. I have no idea what happened as the interview went so well and I got nothing but praise from the interviewers. I won’t speculate, at least I won’t […]
I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]
Time to blog about ancient history, the day before yesterday. For some bizarre reason time keeps moving even when I haven’t written about the previous day. Whoever set the rules for how time works did a shoddy job. When are the hearings for how to redesign it? I want to give my input. Let’s make […]
There was drama on the feline home front. Our cat Lefty died a week-and-a-half ago. Our other cat Dusty has been acting differently ever since. They were littermates but never close. It still changed the dynamic in the house. She started exploring new areas of the apartment, most noticeably on top of the refrigerator. I […]
Dateline: Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3 Last night marked the return of John Platt’s On Your Radar to Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. The last in concert I went to before the lockdown was On Your Radar in March 2020. It took 18 months to return. The artists were Jefferson Berry and the UAC, Heather […]
Life really is getting back to normal, yesterday I had a doubleheader. In the early afternoon I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse volunteer picnic in MacEachron Waterfront Park in Hasting. That involved taking the subway to a bus to the MetroNorth railroad; it was worth it. At least when I got there the park […]
