Note: this post is guest-blogged by my lovely (and incredible) wife, Lois. We received this invitation in early August (from the wife of the man in whose honor the event would be held): ……….and attended yesterday. What an incredible celebration to honor the life of our extraordinary friend and his accomplishments. But no less, we [...]
Posts from ‘September, 2009’
Sierra Hull in Madison Square Park
I started blogging nearly three years ago, purely to keep a journal as we were growing older. Memories fade and blur over time, and this seemed like a good place to document the happenings of our lives. It’s grown a bit since then in a number of ways, but mostly, due to some incredible connections [...]
Amy Rivard and Alex Berger at Waltz Astoria
We attend a lot of live music. Just this week, we saw Red Molly and The Nields at Joe’s Pub on Sunday. On Monday we attended a Livestrong Fundraiser. On Wednesday we saw Wicked (for the 8th time!). Last night was supposed to be downtime, to recharge the batteries for an even more packed series [...]
Wicked Again
Yes, last night, we were Wicked again (oh, I mean we saw Wicked again). It was our eighth time (yes, we love it that much). We were taken by our wonderful goddaughter and her wonderful husband, dinner included (more on that after a quick review of the show). Thanks! There was a brief time when [...]
Red Molly and The Nields at Joe’s Pub

Richmond CenterStage

In an unplanned tribute to that meeting, a black-tie affair unofficially opening the Carpenter Theater to donors and dignitaries, was held on September 11, 2009. The official grand opening of Richmond CenterStage was yesterday, [...]
CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Wed night was our 11th CMA Songwriters Series show at Joe’s Pub. It won’t be our last, we already have tickets for the November 5th show. We were supposed to be at Zope this week, and were planning on missing this show. As I’ve noted before, on occasion, the show scores a major Country star, [...]
Phony Political Arguments
I already regret starting this post. If I said everything I feel like saying, I’d be typing for a few days… Background I am sick of both parties, and 95% of all politicians. I voted for John McCain (in principle only, since I understand that my vote in NY for a Republican Presidential candidate is [...]
