Wise MadnessI’m a great uncle! My nephew and his wife had a baby. Of course I’ve been great uncle to my nephew since he was born but that is not the same thing as being a great uncle to my great niece. As she lives on the opposite side of the country it is going to […]
I didn’t do anything interesting yesterday and the political things on my mind are too difficult to write about. It doesn’t do any good to tell people, “You’re being stupid! Cut it out!” I’m not feeling exposing my feelings this morning. So I’m going to do something I’ve had in the back of my mind […]
I am writing this under subpar, and subzero conditions. There’s no heat. I’m wearing more layers than an onion. Perhaps this will put me in the right mind frame as last night I went to a Nepalese restaurant to hear Nepalese music. As the feels-like temperature was below 0°F I dressed appropriately; that included the […]
Today is Martin Luther King Day. Why do we have holidays? It isn’t just so we can have three-day-weekend getaways, important as that is. We have holidays to remind us of things we need to never forget, the struggle for Independence, those that died in war, the things we are thankful for, the struggles of […]
I’m forcing myself to do a homework assignment today, add ten more acts to my You Probably Haven’t Heard List. I love to write about music and I love to make lists, but somehow it takes an effort to do this. I was happy to discover that I made things somewhat easier for myself by […]
Yesterday was a busy day, therapy, my first time at an old restaurant, and seeing The Sea The Sea at City Vineyard. It was my first time at the venue. The thing that makes it a long day is that therapy is in Harrison, quite a bit north of New York City, and City Vineyard is in Tribeca, far south Manhattan.
I’m getting cataract surgery! Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Schultz. Unlike the last time I attempted this, one visit was enough. As of February 4, I should no longer be blind. What a relief. I haven’t been able to see well in years. First I didn’t have insurance. Then I had insurance […]
My life was boring yesterday. I went to my PO box and found junk mail. I went to Aldi. I should do that combination more often as I can take one train from PO box to the store. The most exciting thing yesterday was dinner. I tried something new, a bacon-wrapped pork loin medallion. It […]
I finished watching Ken Burns’ Baseball and that gives me an excuse to write about the greatest game in January. But first a word from my life. On the bus ride home from the supermarket yesterday my phone rang; it was my gastroenterologist. She got the results of my MRI. She wants to move up […]
Last night’s adventure was seeing Jefferson Hamer and Mary-Elaine Jenkins a the City Winery Loft. It’s above City Winery and next to the their Barrel Room. There is nothing obvious to make it look like an entrance. You’d think it was a service entrance or the way to apartments above the Winery. It’s just a […]
