John Adams

I missed a day blogging and now I have to catch up. Last night I felt like I had enough for a book; this morning I’m feeling less inspired. That’s a problem as what I wanted to write about was feeling inspired. Life is not linear. I’ll start with something simple. I went to the […]

Return to City Island

I was not inspired yesterday so I didn’t write. Of course later in the day when I was out I got inspired. Even more of course I don’t remember half of what I wanted to write. I do remember what I did so I’ll write about that. I decided to go back to Jane and […]

Judgement

How sleep deprived was I yesterday? Last night I slept about 11 hours. I was up a few times and even made my way out of bed, but fell right back asleep when I hit my easy chair. I’m still fatigued, and that’s with two cups of coffee. Sleeping in the chair I managed to […]

In Search of the Lost Specs

I’m afraid I am not up to being brilliant this morning; I hardly slept last night. It was not because of health issues but it triggered one. Is this what I’m really going to write about? Look like it. The basic problem was my digestive system, I spent the night running to the bathroom. It’s […]

Hogfather Who Art in Discworld

I lost my Mets cap again. This is getting ridiculous. Why can’t I keep track of it? I don’t like wearing it indoors so when I go grocery shopping I put it in my cart. I should put it in my bag, but I thought that even I’m not enough of an idiot to leave […]

Where is Ralph Kramden When You Need Him?

Yesterday’s excitement was going to PT and then shopping at Aldi. I’m a wild one. I had an unfortunate transit encounter. Getting to and from Aldi is easy. It’s one bus and I have a choice of buses. The Bx1 is best as it stops closest to my house, that’s important when I come home […]

You Probably Haven’t Heard II

Back in June I started something that was supposed to become a regular feature, You Probably Haven’t Heard. It’s a list of musicians that have not reached their potential audience. Anyone playing large venues or well known to My Gentle Readers, is excluded. I’m trying to expose you to musicians that are new to you that you will enjoy. I am not expecting anyone to love all my recommendations but every reader should find new acts to love.
