Vienna Boys Choir
As I’ve mentioned at least twice, we have company this weekend. We like to do things that the visitors would enjoy whenever possible. Sometimes, we have to guess. Other times, we get lucky and get specific requests. Yesterday was one of the lucky times. A few weeks in advance, they let us know […]

Enjoying Repetition
We have company staying with us this weekend. Yesterday morning, while they were eating a late breakfast in the apartment, I wandered out on my own to TKTS. I listened to another The Business podcast (from KCRW) on the way, and to part of the new Celine Dion CD (Taking Chances) on the […]

Low Tech Often Beats High Tech
In this post, I discussed traditional video senders, that wirelessly extend a video source to a remote receiver (TV, VCR, DVR, etc.). The 5.8Ghz model that I bought from Amazon.com is still working perfectly. In addition to that need at home, we travel a lot for business and therefore spend a lot of […]

Cheap Music in NYC
The New York Times has an article today on cheap and free music in NYC. Worth the read if you live in the city, or visit once in a while, and want a more adventurous sense of the local music scene here. Registration is required to read the article, but it’s free.

White Out Conditions in Westchester
We had to run some errands this morning. We left the house at 10:20am and drove to Chappaqua. While there, it started to snow. By the time we got back, less than 30 minutes after it started snowing, the conditions were white out and the roads were extremely slick. When we got within […]

My iPod Nano Teaches Me New Tricks
Mostly, I listen to music on my iPod. On occasion, I have listened to an audio book or two, while exercising. One thing I have never done is watch a video. My old iPod 30GB probably could do it as well (it certainly could display photos), but I never even tried (not even […]

Jamie Lissow and Brian Kiley
In this post, I mentioned two guest comedians whose names I wasn’t sure about. Thankfully, one of them, Jamie Lissow, commented on my posting, so I now have his correct name and website (now linked to his name earlier in this sentence). A very funny guy who you should try and see live […]

Frozen Shoulder
For the past four months, I have had pain in my upper right arm, 1/2 way between the elbow and shoulder, whenever I move my arm/shoulder away from my body, or over my head. If I move too quickly, the pain can be intense. Otherwise, it’s just wildly uncomfortable, and I have to […]

Extreme Temperatures
Lois and I lead a crazy life on a number of levels. One of them, is the temperature that we typically keep our house at. In the winter, we tend to keep the thermostat on 58 degrees. It sounds colder than it is, given that we have amazing flannel sheets and a very […]
