Mamma Mya! Mamma Mya! Mamma Mya Let Me Go!

I usually decry those people that complain that some event is so tradition shattering that it portends the end of civilization. The only thing that doesn’t change, is that there is always change, or so I thought. But I was wrong, there is a tradition that’s sacred to me and shattering it does portend the […]

The Band of the Our

I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]

Our Minds Work in Mysterious Ways

I was disappointed that I had trouble getting to sleep last night. My internal clock is still running late. As I lay in bed, I started to think about a series of books that I started to read years ago and that I realized that now that I can read, I could pick up again. […]

Roberttown, Bobtown to Their Friends

Yesterday had all the same elements as Saturday minus the idiot story, there was great music, great friends, and great food. There were also transit problems, but not for me. The music was by Bobtown, the friends were the members of Bobtown, Carolann, Allison, Bev, Fred, Shelley, David, Perry & Beth, repeats from Saturday, and […]

The Adventures of Ryanhood and Sophie’s Choice

Today you get rewarded with tales of not just music and friends but an idiot story; it must be sweeps week. Last night I headed out to the wilds of Teaneck NJ to see Ryanhood and Sophie Buskin at Ethical Brew. It’s not that difficult to get to, two subways and a bus that drops […]

The Renaissance of Renaissance

I have something to write about today so of course I slept late and couldn’t write until the afternoon. TW: This is going to be a happy entry. Last night I went to see Renaissance with Carey. I don’t usually see legacy acts; Renaissance’s hay day was the 1970s. There is just one member of […]

Bonus Point For Monkey

Last night I did something that is very me, I saw Carolann Solebello and Karyn Oliver at Rockwood Music Hall. The only thing that would make that more home game would be sitting with my friends. I did, Sharon, Katherine, and Allison. This is a coherent group, the last time I saw any of them, […]

Zoo Station

Yesterday was a fun day, I went to the Bronx Zoo with Gen. It was a busman’s holiday for her as she has worked much of her life in wildlife conservation and seen most of what we saw in the wild. Of course, out on the veldt she didn’t have my scintillating conversation. I’m trying […]

Walking the Walk

I’m not dead, I’m just recovering from the WFUV member drive and dealing with some issues. I put off writing this until 6 PM instead of the morning. I’ve walked during this drive as I have in any eight day stretch. As I walk to and from the station that’s over three miles round trip […]

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]
