A year in the life

If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be?

It’s unlikely that I could string 365 days – 366 if we count it a leap year – all of which are worthy of a retry.

There are plenty of good days, just that any day to day doesn’t add up to a year-in-the-life. Or perhaps it’s that every year was a good year so it’s hard to make the choice.

It’s intriguing to think about such a proposition. Isn’t it?

Backyard jazz

Carol Sudhalter on the flute, busking in Astoria. Carol is at Victory Garden on Thursdays with keyboard accompaniment by Wajdi Cherif. Give them a call for possible rainouts.

Join me and other revelers in a jazz concert at El Barrio PS 109 Art Space on Wednesday September 23.

No rainouts here: The Backyard Jazz at the El Barrio Art Space PS 109 will go indoors if the weather is inclement.

More about last night

Incidentally, or perhaps not so incidentally, at a dinner a couple of months ago with C., I ordered a 0 alcohol beer and got a buzz.

Truth is I have tee-totaled for a long long time. It affects one’s tolerance.

Last night, at the Beach (see my post today about “what’s going on”), I had a Heinekein 00. It was fine. I was fine. Maybe it was that second zero?

I ordered the beer on account of that’s how Taco Tuesday works. 9 dollars for three but you gotta get a drink with that.

Just in case 00 was going to make me tipsy, I squeezed limes then I added water into the glass.

Anyway, I walked home without too much swerving and I like me some non-alco beer.

10 years in support

This evening, which just occurred on Saturday, was wonderful. For me, my friends at the table made it even more gala.

Unbeknownst to any of us, my friends had a past connection.

D. never forgets a face and she recognized C. from a workplace they shared 15 years ago. Talk about 6 degrees– no separation!
