I've got so much going on this week I thought I'd better at least quickly write about the QUO concert a couple of weekends ago before it got lost in the mists of time. [edit: and I started this draft days ago and am just now getting back to it.] As I mentioned before, we …
Quickiepost
just some notes for later delving. I played an orchestra concert! I saw a production of "The Gondoliers"! My college buddy Carol is visiting from San Francisco and we're doing All the Things. Yesterday we explored Brooklyn and went to a drag show, and we have upcoming Broadway show (Into the Woods) and movie planned. …
Sweater Weather
Or, Sweater Weather 2022, since I've probably used that as a blog title before. Loving this weather, I must say. It's going to be turtlenecks and pullovers for a while. Boy, am I glad I got that comforter on the bed, I've needed it. Heat has been on, but intermittently. Let's see... Looking back through …
Travels with my father
My dad is 87 years old, but despite some very specific medical issues popping up here and there, is in terrific shape. He regularly takes 3-mile walks with my brother, eats right, and is cognitively right there. He (we) lost my mom two years ago, and then COVID hit, of course, but he is doing …
Fall into Fall
So, back to real life - but with this lovely weather! One weird thing though is that there's a brief window at the beginning of fall (before the heat turns on mid-October) and mid-spring (when the heat turns off again) where it's the coldest in the apartment it ever gets. So it's now, not February, …
So long and thanks for all the fish
So the idea that had ended up blossoming into this whole trip was, 'maybe I should go to Provincetown for my birthday'. And here it was, Sunday, my birthday. I wasn't particularly excited about it being my birthday, not a a milestone this time, and no honeyman to take me out to dinner or make …
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Saturday: no specific plans, got up, did my coffee and reading and internets, got cleaned up. First breakfast at the Brass Key - self-serve buffet, including little individual spinach souffles, very nice. Lots of groups of boys chatting, although I sat alone. Then to the common room of my building to blog and do research …
Wellfleet, Truro, Ptown (!)
Friday: this was the day in the original plans that was going to be cah-razy, because I was going to try to do the top half of the rail trail. Well, most of my biking plans have been not-happening, although I will try to get one in here in Ptown. So it was kind of …
Gorey Details
Thursday: slept reasonably late, got up, had tea, blogged, got showered, went to breakfast. One of the other patrons was doing the 'this bacon is completely inedible because it's not the exact crispness that I like it' thing. I was accidentally catching her husband's eye from time to time, wanted to say, "is this just …
Driving around Cape Cod
Wednesday: Woke up quite early. Breakfast wasn't served until 8:00, but they had promised "coffee always" and they had a Keurig set up. I went down there around 7:00 and ... well, the Keurig was there, but no takeout cups or creams. Damn. So I liberated some teabags and went back upstairs. The kitchenette does …
