Today I was running a work errand that took me to the Arsenal in Central Park. They have free art exhibits on the third floor (also the employees' break/lunch room) and right now it's their annual Wreath Interpretations. The lobby of the Arsenal is a piece of art itself. There were traditional wreaths, fun wreaths, […]
My penpal (yes, penpal since the third grade) Sue was in town with her husband to visit his daughter and they invited me to join them for dinner and a musical. During the 2017 Tony Awards broadcast, I was blown away by the number (“Welcome to the Rock”) that the cast of Come From Away: […]
“I’m thinking it may be the last trip around the country,” [Tom] Petty told Rolling Stone shortly before [the 40th Anniversary Tour] began. “It’s very likely we’ll keep playing, but will we take on 50 shows in one tour? I don’t think so. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was thinking this might […]

After my day at the Central Park Zoo, I made my way to Brooklyn Bridge Park to meet rtb so we could see the New York Classical Theatre’s panoramic production of Macbeth. They do their plays at several locations throughout NYC and this was the last week we would be able to see it. I […]
Way back in May the tickets for Lucero on a Rocks Off Concert Cruise went on sale. This would be an East River cruise on the Liberty Belle. I couldn’t wait to spend a summer evening cruising NYC harbor with my boys. There were two short lines on the pier when I got there. Some […]
Earlier this year I was watching Saturday Night Live and, as usual, I was paying more attention to my computer than to the TV screen. The musical act was on and I was half-listening when suddenly my ears sent a message to my brain to get off the computer and pay attention to the music. […]
