It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Tucci Swing

Yesterday I had the most me day since the plague started. In the afternoon I had therapy via phone, I’ve done that all along. The me part was the evening. I met Katherine at The Porch to see Tucci Swing. I’ve met Katherine at the Porch already this year and I’ve seen Tucci Swing before. […]

I’m pro-life and anti-stupidity

In yesterday’s Wise Madness I was lamenting being isolated, so what happened? I got a call from Katherine who invited me to join her in the City. We didn’t do anything special, just coffee and walking the neighborhood but what matters is the human contact and the cappuccino, and the snacks. I shocked Katherine by […]

Koosman, Katherine, and Deb

The problem with doing things worth writing about is that it gives me less time to write. Sunday’s plans didn’t allow me to write about Saturday’s Met game. I’m going to do something today I used to do often, tell the stories visually. I’m also going to do something that I’ve only done of late, […]

Corner the Market

The reason I didn’t blog yesterday was the heat. I had in person therapy at 9:30 AM. What does that have to do with the heat? I’ll get to that. Getting there on time meant getting up early and leaving the house by 7:53; that’s how precise Google Maps is. I made it and it […]

Eye of the Pyramid

What adventures have I had since I posted yesterday? Yesterday something momentous happened on yesterday’s Donut Walk™, I got to Krispy Kreme and didn’t go in! It was just a walk. Why? Three reasons. First, I didn’t really feel like a donut. Second, I’ve been working on walking faster and didn’t want to break my […]

Leave the Porch Light On

I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]

The LunÀtico Is Not On the Grass

Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]

Jovial Music

Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]

Swing and a Miss

Yesterday was another busy day. It started with going up to Harrison NY in Westchester for therapy. I walked from the train station to the hospital as the stupid Westchester bus runs only once an hour. I of course don’t mind that as I’m trying to walk every day. It was nice seeing my therapist […]
