I’m a bad golfer
But holy smokes, the weather was perfect.
And it’s always a good time to hang out with friends. It would have been cooler if I’d played well (and not lost so many goddamn balls).
“The Eve Project” at the Modlin Center
The Martha Graham Dance Company staged their “Eve Project” last night at The Modlin Center.
I get to go to a fair number of these professional dance performances because my youngest daughter is in a couple of dance programs. I really enjoy them.
The physical power of the performers really needs to be seen live to understand. Just like it’s hard to see how massive pro athletes are on tv, it’s the same with these folks on the stage. The raw physical power coupled with the flexibility and (for lack of a better word) grace of the dancers is something I have come to enjoy.
I read books.
View this post on Instagram Hello, my friends. I’m so excited to tell you about my memoir, BIG SEXY. I wrote a book about my life growing up in the Dominican Republic and playing the game I love. Preorders are open now. It is coming out in April. Link is in my bio. Thank you! …
Ellis Marsalis with Jae Sinnett and Terry Burrell at The Tin Pan
I’ve seen Branford once and Wynton a couple of times, but this was my first time seeing The Patriarch, Ellis Marsalis, perform live. The show was great. Jae Sinnet was technically the bandleader, it’s his trio, but he was appropriately deferential to Ellis. The Tin Pan is an odd little venue tucked at the end …
Noel Gallagher on Hot Ones
This is a satisfying confluence of my personal interests.

2019 Mets were a fun watch despite the bullpen
This is 2 or 3 years now that I’ve gotten back into watching a decent number of baseball games. I’m still really enjoying it, though I wish the Mets had been better. The obvious Big Story of the 2019 season will be Big Meat Pete Alonso setting the rookie HR record with 53(!). Here is …
Kacey Musgraves in Charlottesville
I am a huge fan of Kacey Musgraves’ latest album, “Golden Hour”. I blabbed about it pretty good on the podcast, and I finally got to see her in concert this weekend. The show was great. Her voice was ON, and the light show was a lot more than I was expecting.
I don’t love the outdoor amphitheater experience but you gotta do what you gotta do to seethe folks you wanna see.
Supergrass covers “Next To You”
It’s all part of the 25th anniversary of “I Should Coco”. That’s an impressive box set, but likely out of my price range.
