Today you get to read about great music, great friends, and me being an idiot. Why do I think it’s the last that you’ll find the most entertaining? As is usual for Fridays I went to therapy. Does therapist/patient confidentiality go both way? May I repeat the story that demonstrates that she’s a sociopath? I […]
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 […]
I have a lot to do today, laundry, shopping, and recording at least one edition of Gord’s Gold for Folk Music Notebook. Before any of that I have to write this. Yesterday I said that I would do laundry and go shopping and probably not go to see Birds of Chicago. I got that exactly […]

I Dream of Cheese
I had a series of uncomfortable and weird dreams last night. The weirdest was preparing a pack of American Cheese to use as playing cards for a bridge game. When it came time to play I couldn’t find the cheese so we had to use computer dealt real cards in official ACBL boards. I felt […]
Hey I’m starting to write at 8:08; if that were AM it would be great. As it is, it will be a miracle if I remember anything that happened yesterday. Let’s hope for a miracle. At least I remember what I did, I headed to The Pronoia Community Project in Clifton, NJ, to see Carolann […]

Caramoor or Less
It’s been three days since I posted. That’s what happens when I go out early two days in a row. Now I have to write this before I go out today. Even I can’t call leaving a 2 o’clock early. It is early but if I admit that, you’ll think less of me. I’ve now […]

A Bronx Tale
I thought I didn’t have a lot planned. I was wrong. I’m going to have a very busy next three days. Tomorrow I am volunteering at WFUV from 6 AM to 1PM. Then I’m off to therapy in Harrison. Tomorrow night I’m seeing the Bumper Jacksons at Rockwood. Saturday is the Caramoor American Roots Festival. […]

I Did It!
Yesterday’s adventures were all internal, the furthest I got from the apartment was the trash shoot. It’s still raining today but I have to get out of the house and I have to get some exercise. Internal adventures can be the most trying. I had to battle my own inertia and anxiety; that’s a battle […]

Starter Problems
I tried something different today; I ate brunch before writing. I now have caffeine in me and caffeine gives superpowers. That makes not knowing what I’m going to write about particularly bad. Before I had my coffee I couldn’t even remember what I did yesterday; now I do. I went into the City to get […]
