Wise MadnessLast night I went to see B at the Bitter End. They were billed as B Betts and I like the sound of B Betts at the Bitter End. Lots of alliteration. B is the stage name of Oliver Esposito. I might find myself saying Ollie because B just is an Ollie. Ollie is 18, […]
I stayed in yesterday which means I have to fall back on my ideas bin. There is only one thing in the phone version and it’s difficult to write, it’s a Mea Culpa. I’ll bite the bullet and write about being wrong. But first of course, the minutiae of my life.
I made a note of what I wanted to write about a few days ago and forgot what it was but looked forward to using it today. I thought it was something fun, but it’s serious. Not only that but I’m a man and I have to talk about tampons. In a sense that’s the […]
I slept late today; when I set my alarm to wake up early for the MRI yesterday I must have accidentally turned off the alarm that wakes me every weekday at 8:30. I set that alarm to play the WFUV question of the day. Because I slept late I missed it today and there was […]
I had an MRI this morning and it has disrupted my entire day. On the bright side it gives me something to write about. My gastroenterologist ordered it, every other test has shown that my ileitis is quiescent but as I’ve had such a long history and have been off meds for over a decade […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. I’m a friend and a fan of two of the three acts, Emerald Rae and Low Lily; the third was All Types of Kinds. I meant to get there a half an hour before doors to give me schmoozing […]
I’m starting on my slate of medical appointments that I made a few weeks ago as I try to make up for years of neglect. Medicaid is wonderful. I don’t need to worry about any out of pocket expenses. For me that’s huge, it goes beyond financials to my anxiety issues. It’s one less thing […]
I saw the other four acts on Sunday, Dan Rauchwerk in the afternoon at the Word Up Community Book store, then The Bright Siders, Kaia Kater, and Lula Wiles at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 1. That was the Smithsonian Folkways Women of Music APAP showcase. Civilians are allowed in. I end up at Rockwood most year on the Sunday of APAP
Last night’s adventures started late, I went to see TAARKA do a 10 PM show at Pete’s Candy Store. That’s in Williamsburg so I had to leave considerably before then. I guess I should point out that Pete’s Candy Story is not a Candy Store; it’s a bar with a dedicated room in the back […]
Today i deal with sleep issues, steak, people not taking responsibility, and people assigning responsibility when they shouldn’t.
