I Said Poll Worker Not Pole Dancer

I have a good excuse for not blogging yesterday, I was working the polls from 5 AM to 10 PM, with two one-hour breaks. I set my alarm for 4:15 but somehow awoke on my own a few minutes after 4:00 I decided to use that extra time to eat breakfast sitting down at home […]

Woe Be Gone I Saw Debi Smith

Yesterday’s adventure was seeing Debi Smith and Garrison Keillor at City Winery New York. That’s not how I wanted to start this, but all my English teachers taught me to put the most important idea in the first sentence. I like to work into things gradually. I got my assignment for Election Day; I’ll be […]

O Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay!

I had today’s blog all planned, it was about breathing. With apologies to Alice Hasen, who gets a shout-out, that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Breathe

I just found out tomorrow is Election Day. How come nobody is talking about it? I mean, how come nobody is talking about anything else? Karyn just summed up what I was going to write in a Facebook post. “Breathe.” I said this before, but it bears repeating, don’t torture yourself with what-ifs. Are you […]

Juneteenth is Bustin’ Out All Over

Is it time to write or time to talk to a friend? Obviously, I decided it was time to write. I missed writing yesterday when this would have been timelier. I have been complaining that I didn’t get my absentee ballot that I requested back in May. When I called the Board of Elections I […]

Votes and Hoops

It’s Election Day and I’ll get to that but first I have to write about what I did yesterday; I went to my first Knick game of the season. I used to go to almost every regular season plus every post-season game. I love basketball, almost as much as baseball.
