#3GoodThings (Monday) 1.Enjoyed a day in #NYC after the rain moved out; humid, but the usual summer stench was washed away. 2. Dinner at #CafeMogador in the East Village. Decent Moroccan cuisine. Recomended. 3. Saw #ElizabethBougerol at #Joe’sPub . An intimate show, celebrating #TonyBennett 100th b'day. Bonus: We got a #FlatTire after leaving the parking garage. #AAA arrived quickly, changed it & adjusted pressure in the spare. We made it home late, but safe and sound. #ThreeGoodTh...

Just finished #reading &#39;Play It Again&#39; by Alan Rusbridger - a tale of one man’s year long quest to master an insanely difficult #Piano piece, #Chopin Ballade #1. A fascinating glimpse into a rarefied world and an inspiring personal accomplishment, especially for amateur pianists and the science of #learning My review is posted on #StoryGraph https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/5226c2c6-dc8b-4ac9-9c84-db9e577e310e And #GoodReads https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/84889...

I should never admit when things are going well. I had a productive week &amp; felt an extra spring in my step while walking the dog, grateful for feeling, dare I say, happy. Then I went to the gym but got careless and dropped a 45lb plate on my foot. OUCH! but I finished most of my routine. Driving home, working the clutch hurt like hell. Now I have a swollen, painful toe, likely broken. Ice, Advil and elevation for a couple days. It isn&#39;t pretty. I&#39;ll spare you all the p...

#ThreeGoodThings 1. After Friday&#39;s gym mishap, my toe doesn&#39;t seem to be broken - black &amp; blue - yes - swollen - yup - going to lose the nail? most likely But broken? Nope 2. Warm, late afternoon sunshine after a cloudy, showery day. Spent the afternoon on the sofa, reading and listening to a performance of Tosca on YT. 3.

It must be nearly summer, our friendly beighborhood turtle is making his yearly visit, looking for a place to lay eggs. I kept the dog inside and out of her way, before she ventured back towards the swamp. #backyard

#ThreeGoodThings 1. Stayed #home all day 2. Chilly rain after a few too-warm-too-soon days. Celebrated with a Hot Honey (Barenjaeger liqueur &amp; bourbon) with my honey. 3. Finished consolidating my #Mastodon accounts here at #GardenState. Severed ties with former, flaky server plagued by poor response &amp; inaccessibility. Cleaned up contacts, many of whom the old server no longer sent updates. Maybe something got cluged when they migrated to different servers? #3GoodThings #Grat...
