Wise MadnessThe worst laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men Gang aft for the best. Yesterday was Friday so I trekked up to Harrison for therapy. As I was getting ready to leave I went to the bathroom and discovered that cats left me three messes to clean up. I raced to clean them quickly and raced […]
Last night was great, for the first time in about 12 years I saw one of my all-time favorite bands, Dave’s True Story. They have been on hiatus since then. In the interim they did one short show that I couldn’t make and one full show that I missed for a reason that still gets […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month, My Gentle Readers should know where I was. That’s right, John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were Plywood Cowboy, Sophie Buskin, and Genevieve. OYR is always a home game. I decided last night that I’m not going to give my usual list of friends in the audience, I’m going to just give you a count. You know you should add at least one to the total as I always forget people. I just counted 15. The room holds only 60 and that count doesn’t include John and his wife Sheila. And then there were the performers.
Yes! I’m starting to write before 10! That counts as a victory, especially when I have a 1 PM appointment. I set my accomplishment bar low. Last night I went to see Sam Baker at Kathryn’s Space. This is both exciting and a home game. Sam is at the pinnacle of my musicians, and Kathryn […]
The soundtrack of today’s edition of Wise Madness is the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of Das Rheingold. Will that inspire or intimidate me. The Ring Cycle is the tale of the universe from birth to death; pretty big shoes to fill. I’ll stick to talking about Deni Bonet, therapy, and food. I missed therapy last […]
I didn’t think I’d be writing this morning as I have to leave the house before I start writing on most days but it looks like somehow I’m pulling this off. Now I have to stay on task so I can both write and eat. Yesterday’s adventure was seeing The Sea The Sea at Rockwood […]
Last night I went to see Our Band at Barbès (bar-bez’). My original plan was to have dinner at Mile End Deli, the shopping at Trader Joe’s then the show. I left the house late and the train was slow. I ended up going straight to Barbès and got there just a few minutes before […]
I had a nice little edition planned for today. Today’s events have driven it from my head. That is not a good thing. Drama is only good when it happens to fictional people. My alarm woke me up as usual at 8:30. Between midnight and then my phone is on Do Not Disturb. I saw […]
I have so much to write about and limited time. I could have said that each of the last three days when I haven’t written. Over the last three days I’ve seen three concerts and a basketball game. The reason I haven’t written is trouble sleeping at night and therefore sleeping late in the mornings. […]
You know how you get stuck in a huge traffic jam expecting a big accident ahead and when you get to it you find a little fender bender and feel disappointed? It’s not that you wanted anyone to get hurt but you feel that something minor should not have created this mess. That’s what this […]
