Pro tip, when I have to say something I’m not comfortable with pronouncing, I will write it out phonetically. Would you think of pronouncing Gothard as GAW-third? I wrote them to learn the right way. Same deal with Kelly Mack. The correct way of spelling the names are on the playlist for each set. As […]
It’s time to get back to writing. I had a bout of COVID-19 but that might be more of an excuse for not writing than a reason. It’s hard writing every day. How did I do it for 20 years? My blogging muscles were strong from use. I must make the strong again. I’m not […]
Saturday night I went to see The Ladles at Littlefield’s in Brooklyn. It was the album release show for Everything that Grows. The Ladles were my great COVID-19 discovery. Amazon music thought I’d like them, Amazon was right. They are the trio of Lucia Pontoniere, Katie Martucci, and Caroline Kuhn. The canonical order for me […]
I’m sorry I didn’t blog yesterday. I’m having issues with internal clock, instead of sleeping through the night, I try and catch up during the day. That does not work. Today I went to a 12 Noon Met game which meant leaving here at 10:00. Sadly, I got there too late to get the giveaway […]
Welcome to the end of the year My Gentle Readers and My Gentle Listeners. Even though I’m hardly writing I should write my Essential Albums of 2023 blog. Why Essential Albums, not Best or Top Albums? To emphasize that these are the albums that are essential to me. It’s a personal collection. It’s more than […]
If I want to get back to blogging I will have to tell you why I haven’t been blogging. I took an emotional body blow; I was told that I probably won’t be teaching at my school next year. They are doing a reset of the math department. I’m not certified and they are going […]
Yesterday I left you with a cliffhanger; would my attempt at raticide work? It did! But it wasn’t beauty that killed the beast, it was the airplanes. No, it was actually the spring jaws trap that I tried first. Perhaps the poison would have worked given time. The glue traps were useless, it just burst […]
I got a job! I’m now a math teacher at a charter high school in Brooklyn! The interview I had last week went as well as I felt it did. The school is in Williamsburg. It will be a pain to get to. I’ll commute from the Bronx until I find a place closer. It’s […]
With the heat wave over I was able to take a real walk yesterday, over four miles. I went shopping. Today I should go to the Botanical Garden. The fly in the ointment is getting ready for Falcon Ridge and doing laundry. I’m having a lot of anxiety over the festival this year. It’s happened […]
Why have I been resisting writing? My therapist retired so I can’t explore that with her. I don’t like it. I want to want to write every day. Now I have a few days to catch up on. Thursday night I went to the Mets-Marlin game. It was one of the best games of the […]
