Sharing thoughts that no one will read…

  • Kathy Mattea at Joes Pub

    Last night, Lois and I saw Kathy Mattea perform at Joe’s Pub. It was a minor odyssey to make it all happen… Since we regularly frequent Joe’s Pub (as loyal readers already know), I read their regular email newsletter reasonably carefully, to spot performers that we already know, as well as attempt to […]

  • Wicked Serendipity

    The last time I wrote about Wicked, we were close to calling it our last time, given the disappointing performances of the two leads. Two people whom I don’t know commented on my blog (one is rare enough), and one, Vickie, pointed out that the Elphaba lead was going to change to Stephanie […]

  • Dumb Play in Weekly Poker Tourney

    Well, the notes say it all… ********************************* 896 entrants, top 90 paid I had some time to play in qualifiers this week. I won three seats, so in addition to playing in this one, I have two additional entries that I can use on any future Sunday. In addition, I also came in […]

  • Charlie Daniels Band at BB King

    Last night, Lois and I went to BB King’s to see the Charlie Daniels Band (CDB). In the past, I’ve mentioned that Lois is a huge Country music fan, and that I have (happily) come along for the ride. The truth is that I have loved CDB since I was a teen (their […]

  • Coincidence or Serendipity?

    You be the judge. 😉 As many of you know, Joe’s Pub is one of our favorite places to see a concert. We’re going again later this week, but that in itself is a good enough story to merit its own blog after the show. None of you may recall how we came […]

  • NBC Got It Right

    I’m a complete sucker for sitcoms. Even stupid ones make me laugh. Yes, I can distinguish between a good one and a horrible one, but like I said, even most horrible ones make me laugh. Unfortunately, the same isn’t true for Lois. She really loves to laugh, and there are some sitcoms that […]

  • Disappointing Result in Sunday Poker Tourney

    Nothing more to say other than my notes taken during tonight’s big tourney… *********************************************** 929 entrants, top 100 paid Won my entry on Friday. Poor start. I had J2o in the big blind on the first hand. Flop came 5JK rainbow. Small blind and I were the only two in the hand. He […]

  • TV Experience Just Got Better

    In this post, I mentioned that I ordered a video sender from X10. The device was priced well, arrived quickly, is nicely packaged, and probably works as well as they describe it to. So, I have no complaints about X10 as a company, or this specific product. Well, the one semi-complaint about them […]

  • Finally Back on Track in Big Poker Tourney

    I’ve had a bit of a dry spell in the big one, including some very near cashes. Tonight felt like it was going to be another one of just missing the money, barely. Thankfully, this one has a happier ending (no surprise, given the title, right?). 😉 Here is a log of my […]

  • The Wailin’ Jennys CDs

    After seeing The Wailin’ Jennys perform last Saturday night at Tarrytown Music Hall, I informed you all that I’d be buying their CDs. I ordered the two full-length CDs from Amazon.com on Monday. Their current one is Firecracker, and the older one is 40 Days. I paid $13.99 for each, but the links […]
