songbird's crazy world

Just hanging out.  

 So yeah, Knicks in 5.  The parade will be Thursday.  Chaos in lower Manhattan. I will not be there.  And yeah, I’m really enjoying our patio; nice place to hang out for a couple of hours. But there’s absolutely no shade on the patio, so we’re going to need a canopy  if we’re having a barbecue. And we are planning one for July 4.  So we ordered a canopy, one that comes with mosquito netting.   The New York political primaries are June 23.  Early voting has started.  Drew and I voted yesterday, in the same building where they’re handing out community pool passes.  The pools open Friday.  I can’t wait! Meanwhile I a still  obsessing over yoga.  I’ve found several yoga channels on YouTube that I am really liking. Namaste.

 Your choice again... ...so today I choose Fleetwood Mac. The Rumours album was one of my favorites.  Released in 1977, the music evokes memories of my junior and senior years of high school. I must have played that album until the vinyl wore out.   I finally got to see Fleetwood Mac in concert in 2013, at Jones Beach.  Great show.   So here are some of my favorites from Fleetwood Mac. And my absolute favorite -- how can you resist Stevie Nicks singing about a breakup with her lover while said lover accompanies her on the guitar?  

 So with temperatures in the 90’s and the humidity level reminiscent of Florida,I decided that I should take a walk early Friday morning, when it was still relatively cool. I  saw a lot of birds, some squirrels, and three bunnies.  And it occurred to me that I haven’t seen our backyard bunny in several days.  I miss the little critter. I hope he’s ok.

 I am really enjoying our patio.  A lounge chair, an umbrella for shade, my iPad, a cold drink, and I’m all set.  I look a long walk Saturday morning then vegged on the patio most of the afternoon. Sunday promises to be more of the same. Saturday night we saw Disclosure Day. A mature Spielberg explores the same themes as in earlier works, like Close Encounters and E.T. Government conspiracies and alien entanglements.  Emily  Blunt is amazing.   Afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at the diner, and listened to the Knicks game as we drove home.  Got home in time to see the last five minutes of the game.  Final score 94 - 90, Knicks won and became the champions!    Some of our neighbors shot off fireworks to celebrate. On to the victory parade! Now we move on to FIFA, the World Cup games being played at MetLife …er, NY/NJ Stadium. I’m not a soccer fan, I don’t anticipate getting caught up in the excitement. Sad news about one of our f...

We’ve had real summer weather these last few days.  Too bad the community pool hasn’t opened yet. It’s hard to get motivated to exercise when the temperature is 94°. I donated blood Thursday night.  I’m an O+, the Red Cross really loves me.  I am a member of the Gallon Club, but it had been awhile since my last donation.  I went to a blood drive where donors were given a reward —a coupon for two tickets to a Mets game. I can’t wait to redeem my coupon. Their record is abysmal but we enjoy Citi Field. And will have fun regardless. The excitement for tomorrow night’s Knicks game is building.  We’re going to a movie tomorrow night, but I think we may be home in time to catch the end of the game.  Fingers crossed … We now have tickets to see Rod Stewart at Jones Beach at the end of July.  You may remember that we saw him at Jones Beach in  2014 , and that we had tickets to see him during the summer of 2020, but that concert was postponed for obvious r...
