Fiddling While Australia Burns

I had plans for a doubleheader yesterday, instead I stayed home. I didn’t see the free performance of Beethoven’s 15th String Quartet in the afternoon because I couldn’t get myself out in time. I didn’t see Kemp Harris in the evening because I couldn’t afford it. I didn’t go shopping because the weather was yucky, […]

Today didn’t start well, I got a call from my therapist, she has to cancel today’s session. I could just blog what I wanted to talk about. Do all of you promise therapist-patient confidentiality? I trust you but I think I better not rely on it. I’m often proud of my cooking. Yesterday I tried […]

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 […]

It’s Showtime! Ugh!

I didn’t have a chance to write yesterday and today I’m pressed for time. I have no time to plan this, it might be interesting. On Friday I went to therapy and eschewed other plans to stay home and relax. I wasn’t staying home to mope, this was not a depression reaction, but just the […]

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 Mets Right or Wrong

I’m writing this twelve hours later than I should have. Will I remember what happened yesterday? You’ll never know, I’ll just make it up if I don’t. I went to my second Met game this week, this one against their hated crosstown rivals the New York Yankees. It’s Good versus Evil. I’m on the side […]

The Facts Fan, Just the Facts

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. […]

The Wilds of the Bronx

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 […]
