Like HOT CAKES and SYRUP
Newark NJ, 2 November 2025
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.

RECAPITULATION
8 September 1959
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!

Baltimore's Pennsylvania Station
1 September 2025
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.

SUMMER'S END
ToneBase Piano Camp, Adamant, Vermont
The soundtrack of sunrise here is the cackle of geese as they fly south to the winter.

JOY

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

RHAPSODY IN PINK
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.

WHATEVER GIVES YOU KICKS
31 July 2025
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.

FOUR HANDS ONE HEART
26 June 2025
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.
