2021: A Subway Odyssey

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 […]

Jubilation I’m Happy Again

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. […]

Nerds On Your Radar

I have time for a short entry before I take my Donut Walk™. My posts are so varied, do you find that a problem? One day I’ll write a silly recounting of  my day with self-deprecatory humor and the next a serious piece on punishment that asks you to rethink the issue. When we aren’t […]

Frodo and Sam Entering Mordor

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 […]

Let’s start with an idiot story; you know why? I’m an idiot. This starts immediately after I updated yesterday. I wrote about how I had a lot of time pressure and had to get moving. I was good and went right into the shower so that I could take my Donut Walk™ and be back […]

Remember Tulsa

How have I not written for three days? Sure, I haven’t done much but that’s no excuse. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t write yesterday. I just checked to see if I wrote something and forgot to post it, no, didn’t happen. The first two skipped days were because I was sick. I simply […]

Tidbits of My Life

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 […]

Lucky Charm

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 […]

A Dinner with a View

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 […]

Life Simple

I ended up not taking my Donut Walk™ yesterday. For the first time in a while, I made a conscious, stay-in-my-PJs day. For so long that was the norm the fact that now it’s a deliberate choice is a good thing, it felt like a luxury. I’m going out today for a house concert at […]
