Joy

There was drama on the feline home front. Our cat Lefty died a week-and-a-half ago. Our other cat Dusty has been acting differently ever since. They were littermates but never close. It still changed the dynamic in the house. She started exploring new areas of the apartment, most noticeably on top of the refrigerator. I […]

The Return of the Radar

Dateline: Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3 Last night marked the return of John Platt’s On Your Radar to Rockwood Music Hall Stage 3. The last in concert I went to before the lockdown was On Your Radar in March 2020. It took 18 months to return. The artists were Jefferson Berry and the UAC, Heather […]

Lindor Truffle

Life really is getting back to normal, yesterday I had a doubleheader. In the early afternoon I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse volunteer picnic in MacEachron Waterfront Park in Hasting. That involved taking the subway to a bus to the MetroNorth railroad; it was worth it. At least when I got there the park […]

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. […]

Everyone is Good

I have to get used to writing without Lefty supervising me. Who is going to meow commands to me now? Something that seems insignificant but isn’t happened when I went to the theater to see Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. I stay to the credits are over even when it isn’t a […]

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 […]

Waiting for Godot, I mean Wendy

Ugh. I’ve stayed home all day waiting for the super to come to fix something. It’s now almost 4 PM. I need to go shopping and do my laundry. Why haven’t I written my blog yet? You know, it’s because I’m an idiot. Why is this as far as I got writing? My phone rang. […]

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 […]
