How superstitious are you? I should Google why people are freaked about Fridays falling on the 13th but I don’t want to take the time; if I ever knew the reason, I have forgotten it. It’s a fairly clear, still morning, and it may turn out to be a ‘beach day’ like yesterday. Not that…

My last foray out of the house was Easter Sunday night when I saw Johnny Naoufal in his final show for the season at Coco Cabaret.

I didn’t go to the Bruce Springsteen Tribute because I am a fan of the music; not at all. I barely recognized four songs. I knew of “The Boss’s” appeal in an abstract way, a singer for the midline workers, especially guys. I am thinking truckers, janitors, etc. Not my style. But I had heard…
Oh, my house is quiet now. Bogie and I keep bumping into little pieces of evidence that Patrice, was living with us for three weeks, but she is back in Canada and will be reunited with her beloved kitties and her house sometime this afternoon. She was a Flight Angel for seven dogs who were…
