Radar Love

Yay, I have things to write about. There’s music, there’s friends, and there’s medical news. Let’s play this backwards and start in the evening. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The original lineup included two Budgiedome alumni, Martin Swinger and Quarter Horse. Then with less […]

Not Looking Good but Looking Well

I’m not sure how this will go but I’m going to attempt a limited vision edition of Wise Madness. This is the story of my cataract surgery. I had to be at the hospital at 6 which meant getting up at 5. I tried to go to sleep early but to no avail. That lack […]

Bobtown Garden City

Last night I went to see Bobtown so I have something to write about. I suspect only My Most Loyal Gentle Readers enjoy when I philosophize. I’d love to hear that I was wrong about that. I do know it’s easier to write about things I did. It didn’t used to be that way; it […]

How Come There’s No Such Thing as Bar Mitzvah Bias? Antisemitism?

I owe you an apology; I didn’t blog yesterday. I got a call from Jane that she needed my help and I went over there instead. I hope you managed to survive without my words of wisdom. I’m helping Jane clear out her apartment. Anybody know how to get rid of a collection of vintage […]

(The Sea)²

Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.

Tampons and Prejudice

I made a note of what I wanted to write about a few days ago and forgot what it was but looked forward to using it today. I thought it was something fun, but it’s serious. Not only that but I’m a man and I have to talk about tampons. In a sense that’s the […]

Levi’s Genes

I’m starting on my slate of medical appointments that I made a few weeks ago as I try to make up for years of neglect. Medicaid is wonderful. I don’t need to worry about any out of pocket expenses. For me that’s huge, it goes beyond financials to my anxiety issues. It’s one less thing […]
