May 4th has become known (among the geeky of us) as Star Wars Day, and you will see many May the Fourth be With You greetings out there. It was also a night out for us, and an appropriate one for the day. Last night, we went to the final Binghamton Philharmonic concert for this … Continue reading An Appropriate Evening for Star Wars Day
Quick update on Mr. Lambeau. He went to the vet's last Wednesday, and the incision by the tail is good. But the staples that were put in the one he pulled open won't come out until this coming Wednesday, so he is still in the cone and still on cage confinement. He's getting tired of … Continue reading How I Spent My Saturday Afternoon (Spoiler: It Was Good)
Not that anything really dire happened, but I just seemed to run out of time to post here lately. Part of it was, of course, my own fault. I just couldn't seem to get my act together enough to get stuff done, and that left me with no time to give to things that were … Continue reading Unplanned Hiatus
It's been a while since there was an update, hasn't it? And I have no real excuse. Just lazy and not taking the time to sit and write something up. My bad! So, today I am going to run down what's been happening around here. Thanksgiving: It was a good day. There were only five … Continue reading What’s Going On?
On Friday 10/21, we went to a concert at the Broome County Forum Theater. It was a fundraiser for Sock Out Cancer. The show featured Fran Cosmo, a former lead singer for Boston, and Steve Augeri, former lead singer for Journey. I wanted to go to see Steve. He was the lead singer when I … Continue reading In My Happy Place
I don't know about the soothing savage beasts thing, but I know when I get to go to a live concert, it resets my, well, everything. And that's where we were this week. On Monday, we drove to Albany to see Leonid and Friends at the Egg Center for Performing Arts. It's a pretty neat … Continue reading Music Hath Charms
We went to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra. They did "Christmas Eve and Other Stories." And let me tell you- it felt GOOOOD!!! to be at a live show again. Music is a lifelong love and with all the COVID shutdowns and tour cancelations that past couple … Continue reading We Went To A Live Concert Yesterday!
I had heard of Asleep at the Wheel prior to going to the show, and had listened in the past to recordings of some of their songs. Just never got to a show. Then, friends of ours went to a show, and in looking at the band's upcoming schedule, saw that they were going to … Continue reading Friday Review: Asleep at the Wheel (Concert)
Oh, look- the world is still out there! And all you lovely people, too. Hello! I know I have been MIA for a week or so and I apologize. Our family Thanksgiving was November 17 this year, due to scheduling, which seems to get more interesting every year. We had out of town company, as … Continue reading Monday Musings: And She Rose, Blinking, Into the Light
Last night, the BaldMan and I went to the Blue Ocean Music Hall in Salisbury Beach, MA to see the Steve Augeri Band. I didn't realize he was back there this year. Apparently, when our email addresses changed a while back, I didn't update my newsletter subscription to the Hall and I haven't been getting … Continue reading Friday (Concert) Review: The Steve Augeri Band
And So On...
