Whoa, I'm behind on blogging. Again, I realize that most of my blog is providing material for an Eric Peterson museum that will never exist, but it is nice to go back and see what I was up to five years ago or whatever. But I was surprised as we crossed the border into May, …

Chisago? Schmisago?
Behind on blogging, oh well, I'll do a bit of catchup at the end. Two weekends ago I took an extended weekend to go visit my niece and her family in Minnesota - flew in on Thursday, left on Monday. It happened to be Easter weekend, but was really timed to coincide with other niece's …
In Lazy Languor Motionless
I'm currently spending a nice long weekend up at my niece's in Minnesota. She and her family moved farther away from the Twin Cities a couple of years ago - they're in Chisago City. Or Scandia. Or something, it's unclear. Way way out. But here, I get to be Uncle Eric, not lifting a finger …
Scattershot
Still in 'normal normal normal' mode, although that's about to change. April and May are quite booked with stuff. I did have my first Utopia, Ltd. (with Utopia Opera) orchestral rehearsal yesterday. This is going to be fun! Not that the horn part is anything to write home about, or even that the show is …
Normal normal normal
Currently I'm in an unusual block of time where I really don't have anything scheduled, I can just live my life and do my things and get stuff done. IT WON'T LAST, so I'm enjoying it for what it is. Last weekend, I spent Saturday just doing laundry and stuff, but had so much time …
Hostess with the Mostess
Our apartment was big for two people, and it's really big for one. But it's just the right size when we have guests. Charles was the consummate host, of course, and I learned a ton from him over our lives together. Of course, a big part of his hosting was preparing food, which I'm still …
On the Spectrum
A week! Some things got done! Others, not so much! I'd signed up with Blink Fitness, which is the only gym with a local branch not far away, at the beginning of the year, to continue my PT exercises. That's been working out OK - that branch is always busy, but if I go early …
Culture Vulture
Another week of busy busy, but almost all fun, or at least pleasant, stuff. Last Sunday, I did my monthly visit to the cemetery, which is always lovely and peaceful, then to the nearby diner, which is always fun. Putzed around for the rest of the day until it was time to go into town. …
Busy Busy
So, yeah, I did have a 'normal weekend' last weekend, something that is very rare. Laundry and such. Saturday night I checked out one of the local bars I'd never been to (or been aware of), had a great time. Ran into a neighbor I hadn't seen in a while, enjoyed people-watching, saw part of …
Come and meet those dancin’ feet
Particularly since things have become less COVID-y, I've continuously aware that I live in NYC for a reason, and my office building is a block from Times Square, and there is nothing stopping me from leaving my office, going to the TKTS booth or a specific box office, and going to see something on a …
