I changed up my usual routine and I’m starting this at the time I’m usually finishing writing. I had my breakfast and most importantly my coffee. One of the best things about iced coffee is that I don’t have to brew it every day. I just pour it. I pronounce the d in iced coffee. […]

I almost let the heat stop me but I went out for my walk yesterday. I left late, close to 7 PM. There are two advantages to that, one it’s cooler, two there is little risk of sunburn. Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun. I went on the Bronx Forest […]

Burning Issues
Gandalf said “The burned hand teaches best. After that, advice about fire goes to the heart.” What about the burned foot? I eat my breakfast, when others are eating lunch, in the living room. I put my French press of coffee, the coffee cup, and my little cream server on a snack table next to […]
Last night I made an expedition to Fort Greene to see Carolann Solebello, Paul Sachs, and Karyn Oliver. It’s part of a new series that Carolann and Devlin (I write devil first every time) Miles are running at the Putnam’s Pub and Cooker; it’s called Live From the Vault Songwriter’s Sessions. As a bonus I […]
The rain let up enough yesterday for me to venture out to Bagel Bob’s for 55¢ bagels. That price is only on Mondays from 4 – 7. So yes, I travel from the Bronx to Greenwich Village for half-priced bagels. I follow that with a stop at the Trader Joe’s in the neighborhood. I’m not […]
Yesterday was a beautiful day and I had nothing planned. For the first time this year I took a walk for the sake of taking a walk. I didn’t even know where to walk in this area. I like walking through nature. I stumbled on the Bronx River Forest. I love that it’s called a […]
I ended up staying in last night. Just as I was making my final decision it started pouring. I hate being a wimp but I stayed home. I was going to see Miss Tess at Rockwood and part of what put me on the fence was the cost. Today she announced that she is doing […]

My sleep schedule is still shot to hell. I woke up at 5:20 AM and stayed awake for an hour or so. Then I slept again until 10:40. I would like just once to go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 8 AM like I plan. It makes the rest of the day […]

(The Sea)²
Yesterday was my first full doubleheader since surgery; I went to therapy up in Harrison then to see The Sea The Seat at Spiral Sounds Concerts in Jersey City. That involved a lot of traveling, I knew it would be pushing my body. The trip to therapy went smoothly. I made the bus that takes […]

The Warren Commission
Just as I was about to start writing the outside bell rang. I went to the buzzer and asked, “Who is it?” The response was, “Somebody open the door.” I hope nobody let him in, I didn’t. Doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose of having to buzz people in? He didn’t even think it necessary […]
