On a pleasant Sunday afternoon hike I passed by this perfect confluence of shops, appropriately closed to honor the Sabbath. Some things are just destined for pairing.

66 years ago at 4:00 a.m. on this date, this squirrely human first peered out at the world, obviously in need of coffee. It's about time somebody brought me a cup of Café Bustelo, so I can get through the next 33 years. Thank you!

Yesterday I made a pilgrimage to my birth town of Baltimore, arriving by train in its beautiful Cathedral of Transportation. Train travel has been in my blood since earliest memory.

Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face and heart, than being at Citi Field when Pete Alonso comes up to bat.

Greenport, Long Island, 15 August 2025
In Greenport I came upon a friend who occasioned this self-defining photo. I was born in the Chinese Year of the Pig, and they are considered symbols of joy and wealth in most Asian countries. So if pigs be the animal of music, oink on.

On a morning urban stroll in downtown Newark, I spotted this sign above a former store for running shoes. I don't quite get the association of sculpted calves with orchestral conductors, but the idea of being a Marathon Maestro is a nice one.

This sitcom about a single woman aspiring to an entertainment career was quietly progressive in its day. Who DIDN'T want to be lovely young Marlo Thomas in glamorous Manhattan? This episode features some surprisingly contemporary issues.

This evening I performed Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances" for two pianos with Martha Argerich, at the Hamburg Symphony Argerich Festival. Martha is 84 years young, with the virtuosity of a devil, the puckishness of a child, and the soul of an Angel.

Major Erica Vandal's story (by Greg Jaffe)
New York Times, 16 June 2025
Read every word, if you can.
Major Vandal is a heroine. Shame on our country for electing a criminal draft dodger and his henchmen who have evicted her from service.
