Wise Madness
Live music’s back and Gordon got it. Yesterday was as Gordon a day as you can have; there is even an idiot story. The Kennedys did their first in person show in 16 months so I was there even though getting there and home again involved walking 7 miles. The show was at Rye Town […]
Today is my birthday but I have nothing planned. Yesterday Carey and Barbara took me out to dinner at Junior’s for my birthday. I suspect that I have celebrated my birthday more often with Carey than with anyone else. I’ve known him since 1977. I screwed up and went to the wrong Juniors first, there’s […]
Hallelujah! Last night I got another important part of my life back, my first show since COVID-19 at my home-away-from-home, Rockwood Music Hall. You can tell Rockwood is important, it gets its own macro. The artists were, Michael Daves, Tony Trischka, and Bruce Molsky; I’m starting off with Bluegrass and Old Timey. It was a […]
Here’s a peek inside my brain. I just read something on Facebook that got me mad. Ten seconds later I have no idea what it was. I’m not going to go back and try and find it. It was neither politics nor baseball, the two topics that generate the most posts that offend me. Guess […]
Going to a Met game is not supposed to be an all-day activity but yesterday it was. The Met-Phillies game started at 1:10. As happens too often I wanted to get there early but dilly-dallied for 20 minutes longer than I wanted to. That still gave me time to spare but when I ran out […]
Yesterday was amazing, the sun coming out after a storm, a feast after a fast, the weekend after a tough work week. It was part music festival and part family reunion. It was the Make Music Ditmas Park porch concert. I’ve been to porch concerts before, many last year, but this one was an event. […]
Listen now to the story of Nine-fingered Frodo and the ring of Doom. Not quite, but you’ll see later why that’s a good way to start. Yesterday I went to the Yankee Game! You read that right; what’s next seeing Dawes? A friend had tickets she couldn’t use and offered them to me. I’m a […]
I did not go for a walk yesterday and was sleepy all morning today? Is that cause and effect? Do I need my daily exposure to light? I don’t know and I don’t know how to figure it out. The sleepiness can also be from depression. In any even it’s better for me in every […]
Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]
Yesterday was Friday so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle at Wagner Park. This made four weeks in a row and I still get a kick out of each one. I changed it up by leaving earlier and walking down from the Broadway Lafayette station. I was going to precede it with my donut […]
