Mystery of the Wax Museum

Last night I went to see David Wax Museum at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Hastings. I wanted to write about that first thing this morning but I couldn’t. I’m posting late today but I have a good excuse; I went to the ophthalmologist this morning and he dilated my eyes. I couldn’t see well enough […]

Dog Bites Man

Here’s the headline right up there with dog bites man. I’m an idiot. Yesterday I had a 10:45 appointment with my ophthalmologist. It’s only 10 minutes away so easy to time. I was proud of myself as I signed in at exactly 10:45. There’s always a wait after you sign as they retrieve your records. […]

How Does This Sexual Attraction Thing Work?

I’m writing this far earlier than usual. I have an appointment with the ophthalmologist this morning and slept well enough to get an early start. My sleep is not back to normal, I still woke up in the night, but it’s improved. I’m slowly recovering from the surgery. My discomfort level is the lowest it’s […]

Is it a Good Omen that I write about two things involving hell?

My plan for yesterday was to stay home and let my body heal. I’ve had pain from the surgery and even more from arthritis in my back. It proved an excellent plan. It was the first day in weeks that I didn’t need to take acetaminophen. I’m still not 100% but I made significant progress. […]

Katering to My Musical Taste

My plan for yesterday was to see the Stephani, Steph Jenkins backed by Stephie Coleman. Then Kaia Kater posted on Facebook that she needed somebody to merch for her at the New York Guitar Festival. As I so rarely see Kaia and she needed help I changed plans and headed down to Brookfield for the […]

Like A Kid in Pete’s Candy Store

I did things worth writing about yesterday. I went to see Emily Mure and the Young Novelist at Pete’s Candy Store. I love when my world fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. I love Emily as a musician and a person. I love Graydon and Laura as musicians and people. I know the independently of […]

Peggy Carter and the Batnoses

I spent another boring day in the apartment. My surgically repaired guts think that was a good decision and I’m letting them have their way. My arthritic back is still not satisfied. I should get up and use the heating pad. There’s just one flaw in that plan, it means getting up. It didn’t! The […]

Impeachment and Cats

I ended up staying in last night. Just as I was making my final decision it started pouring. I hate being a wimp but I stayed home. I was going to see Miss Tess at Rockwood and part of what put me on the fence was the cost. Today she announced that she is doing […]

Informed

My sleep schedule is still shot to hell. I woke up at 5:20 AM and stayed awake for an hour or so. Then I slept again until 10:40. I would like just once to go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 8 AM like I plan. It makes the rest of the day […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Mediocre

I did not leave the house yesterday. While I always enjoy a day like that now and then this was more of a concession to my recovery from surgery. I’m tempted to say it had benefits; that the level of discomfort in my abdomen decreased significantly. I have to remind myself that such self-reporting is […]
