Caught the A-train last evening after tech with a group of actors from the show. We were chatting about the film Disruption. Got to my stop – I thought. Jumped out in a hurry, as I was a bit late getting to the open door, right in my face saw the signage 23rd – [not …

The Race of Gentlemen
Why the ’32 hot rods were on my street. In anticipation of the Race of Gentlemen. It is I believe a[n] eu·phe·mism. http://www.theraceofgentlemen.com In the years I lived in “buttscratch” Virginia, these were known as “Tractor Pulls”. The folk there didn’t know to fancy up the name. They weren’t tractors either. It …
We Won
Did I report that the competition in which the new play “Call Raul” was presented, we won our round. We were up against four other plays. Now we compete with 5 other plays in a final round October 2nd. I attended two sessions of 10 plays, two of which will win and be part …
Make On-the-Cusp Wine Better

Outside My Window -part 3
These I recognize, and they are the most disconcerting. There were three of them, and the fire appeared to be in the 4th building unit of my building. Most of our units have fireplaces, but if the owner hasn’t remodeled the fireplace in your unit, then it is beyond unsafe. Every year a new tenant …
Outside My Window – part 2
This looks like a ‘panzer wagon’. Wonder if it was for the climate march?
Outside My Window – part 1
There were two of them, not completely identical, the front grill on the other one was different, but the squeezed cab/chassis were the same. When they drove away the sound was akin to a ‘hot rod’ raw roar, not like the purr of a Porsche. What are they?
Actors
are a crazy lot. When waiting around, as we were this past week to go on in our spot in the one act competition, the discussion began on what were the titles of the two people on the subway train who are either driving or are in the middle, pointing at the sign as noted …
