It’s the End of America as We Know It

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I didn’t have a good excuse. It seems like a small thing but it has a lot to do with my other problems. We’ll be discussing this at my next therapy session. As a consequence I now have to catch up with what happened on Saturday before I get to […]

Two-Time Loser

Fridays always start the same, I go to therapy. The highlight of the session was when my therapist said I was a “a little bit of a sociopath.” She then added, “You’re going to put that in your blog, aren’t you?” I can’t disappoint us. I have an unusual relationship with my therapist. I think […]

Poutine with Chick Gravy

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 […]

Taking a Brake

My computer keeps hanging up. I’m afraid I need a new one. This was a Windows 7 machine now running Windows 10. It takes me forever to do anything. Wow, when did I start writing this? I fell back to sleep while waiting for the computer to start working. It’s now many hours later. I […]

Speed Checked by Radar

This is a tale of a long walk, a doughnut, a chance meeting, and John Platt’s On Your Radar featuring Matt Marshak, Sarah Eide (rhymes with hay duh), and Martin Swinger. Sorry I’m posting so late; the coda will explain why. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I decided to take advantage of it. Instead […]

Antidotes to Anecdotes

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 […]

A Tale of Two Towns (Bob and Hades)

Last night I did something important enough that I was willing to miss Anaïs Mitchell win Tony Awards, Bobtown at Rockwood Music Hall. It was the release show for their new album, Chasing the Sun. I can’t believe that it’s been five years since they put out their last one. Somebody has been playing with […]

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 […]

Katering to My Tastes

Yesterday was Friday and that means therapy. Does everyone look forward to therapy as much as I do? Is it good or bad that I enjoy it? I hope it’s good. The therapist does challenge me and give me homework. She helps even when I’m not at therapy. The two main ways I process my […]

Nobody’s Girl But My Kind Of Band

It’s been four weeks and one day since my surgery. My body is not back to normal but I’m back to living my life and not taking it easy. Going out makes it a lot easier to write a blog about my life. Last night’s adventure was seeing Nobody’s Girl at Rockwood Music Hall. Nobody’s […]
