Wise Madness
Sadly, I did not carol on the winter solstice. Happily, I still got together with Katherine. We met at the Union Square holiday market. I’m such a sucker for those; I don’t know why but I enjoy them. Part of it is that the people that run the shops are interesting, they live nomadic live […]
The days of no effort COVID-19 testing are no more. Till now I just stopped by the booth by Krispy Kreme or Aldi and spent perhaps five minutes getting tested. Now as Jimmy Durante said, “Everybody wants to get into the act.” When I got to my place on Fordham Plaza it took 52 minutes […]
Today’s idiot story, I forgot to zip last night’s Gord’s Gold into one file then upload it to Mixcloud. It’s uploading now but that means it’s late. I promised people it would be up at noon, now it’s 2:03 PM. There’s ten minutes more to go. Since we cut the cable cord uploads go slowly. […]
Dateline Arthouse Hotel: Lena is visiting New York, has an extra bed in her room, so I’m crashing here rather than commuting back to the Bronx. What have we been doing? Music and food; in other words what I always do and write about. Well sometimes it’s food and music. On Monday night we attempted […]
I’ve been busy, that’s a good thing. It’s been three days since my last blog post. I wanted that to sound like the beginning of a Catholic confession, but I don’t know what comes next. I only know that much from movies and TV but as I feel guilty when I don’t blog it seemed […]
I can’t wait to blog tomorrow as I have my infusion in the morning, so I’ll put out a rare late evening edition of Wise Madness. There was a time when that was the norm, and this would be considered early. I’d get home at 1AM and then blog. I should get back to some […]
Yesterday’s adventure was walking to and from Aldi. That’s not that exciting but I did walk 4.42 miles and burned 480 calories. The hill coming home with all my groceries is the killer. It’s 157 feet high. What’s my idiot story? I know I had an idiot story. I guess that my idiot story is […]
The Chronoklepts are at it again. These notorious times thieves stole all of yesterday and a great deal of today. Why didn’t I blog yesterday? Why am I not writing until 2:48 PM today when I still have to go shopping? The Chronoklepts. I need a Chronoklept warning system and an effective weapon to use […]
I awoke at a reasonable hour this morning, 9 AM despite staying up way too late. The reason I woke up was bad, a loud argument on the street between a man and a woman. I heard things escalate then heard a slap, the man hit the woman. That got me out of bed to […]
Yesterday’s adventure was traveling north to see the Richard Thompson at Tarrytown Music Hall. I could not afford the tickets but out of the blue my friend Connie bought me one because she knows that he is tied with Rhiannon Giddens as my favorite of favorites. Now that I’m carless it’s a pain to get […]
