What’s Important?

Last night I went to the Met game. I finally go to see the team’s best pitcher and player, Jacob deGrom. The Mets don’t score much for deGrom, which is just luck, he’s a good hitter so you’d expect them to score more. That held up yesterday, the Metropolitans scored but three runs, good thing […]

Friends, Music, and Food, aka The Usual

I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]

Vote for Me! I Like Good Music

Today’s blog is going to be the playlist of songs to be played at my presidential campaign rallies. I haven’t registered as a candidate, I have made no formal announcement of running, have no staff, and no funds, but I figured that the music was a good place to start planning my campaign. Everything else […]

Hail to the King and the Mahatma

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I left the house yesterday, that will make things easier. For the first time I did what I consider my default Sunday plan, going to An Beal Bocht for their traditional Irish session. The easiest way to get there is walking but it’s a long walk, half an hour. I […]

Hurray for Mozart

I’m back to the August doldrums. After therapy I went home and watched the Mets lose. That’s my plan for tonight too, except for the game’s outcome. I got something done; I recorded two editions of Gord’s Gold, featuring Her Crooked Heart and Jean Rohe. I had already recorded Jean’s but that was before I […]

The Right Man For the Job is a Woman

I want to talk about choosing a president. I’m going to go about it in a round about way, retracing my mental steps. It starts with baseball. Everything you need to know you can learn from baseball.

This is My Only Home

Time to start the annals of Falcon Ridge 19, the chronological account. It starts on Wednesday morning when Fred picked me up. I’m not going to give a tale of our trip as it was for the most part uneventful. The only pressing question on our minds was rain. Would we be able to make […]

One advantage to iced coffee season is that I don’t have to make coffee in the morning. Making coffee before I’ve had my first cup of coffee is always a challenge. This way it’s already made and I just drink it. I don’t even have to wait to breakfast; I’m writing this fully caffeinated. I […]

My therapy homework is always to record my pieces for Folk Music Notebook. I always do it but it’s always late on Thursday night; I have therapy on Fridays. The next step is not waiting to the last minute. Procrastination has been an issue with me my entire life; it’s driven by my anxiety. I […]

Go Fourth

Happy Independence Day! That must always be acknowledged. I listened to The Egg and Is Anybody There from 1776 before I went to sleep last night. I couldn’t wait till I woke up. There must be someplace I can watch the film on TV today. I’ll see. Yesterday I did one of the top items […]
