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 […]

Kevin Meaney at Tarrytown Music Hall
A while ago, Lois and I had to make a decision as to which of two shows to attend last night (December 7th, 2007). There was another Dave Koz and friends concert (including Jonathan Butler, who blew me away the last time), at the Beacon Theater, and Kevin Meaney at the Tarrytown Music […]

No Longer a Digital Download Virgin
In this post, which I just published a few minutes ago, I mention that I just purchased Acoustic Sketches by Phil Keaggy. In that post I said that I would write separately about how/where I purchased that “CD”. This is that tale… I have purposely avoided the seduction of purchasing music for downloading […]

Phil Keaggy Acoustic Sketches “CD”
If you read this post, then you know that I intended to purchase Acoustic Sketches by Phil Keaggy. Today, I did just that. How/where will be the subject of my next post. I listened to the entire album today, I like it a lot. Just Phil, no complications with other instruments or musicians. […]

Phil Keaggy CD Arrives
On October 25th, 2007, I posted my impressions from the night before’s Kathy Mattea concert at Joe’s Pub. In that post, I highlighted my amazement at Bill Cooley’s guitar playing, stating that he was possibly the best acoustic guitar player I had ever heard. That led to a comment by Eric Sink that […]

Last Headphone Post for the Year
I promise! 🙂 I know how incredibly subjective all of this nonsense is, and that I’m not an audiophile, so I don’t even know what to listen for, and probably couldn’t hear it if I knew. But, still, I can’t resist, since Lois found a bag of my old headphones today, so I […]

November 2007 Poker Summary
Very short post this time around. I didn’t get to play too much this month, but a reasonable amount nonetheless. I already reported on the one live tourney here, with excellent results in that one. 🙂 I’m posting this early because we have dinner plans tonight so I know I won’t be playing […]

CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
On Tuesday this week, Lois asked me to check if anything was going on at any of our favorite clubs for either Wed or Thu, the only two nights this week that we didn’t have plans yet. This was highly unusual for Lois, given that we both tend to be home-bodies unless we […]
