The World According to LARP

I chose to not go out today, I could have gone to a free classical concert in the City or see The Ruckus at Jalopy tonight. Going on a shopping walk is not as much fun. I posted this video on Facebook and people found it amusing. Where others see a protective cover for wires, […]

Does This Mean I’m Magnetic?

I had an MRI yesterday; will that make me resonate with you? I didn’t think so. The test was scheduled for 2:45 and I couldn’t eat for four hours beforehand so I had what was for me a big breakfast. I finished off the bacon, that means I have to buy more. The worst part […]

Emotional Support Animal

The closest thing I had to an adventure yesterday getting my free drink at Dunkin’ Donuts on my Donut Walk™. Ironically, I don’t get the donut at DD but at Krispy Kreme. I prefer DD to KK, but KK gives a free one every day if you’ve been vaxxed. It was extremely hot, so I […]

Leave the Porch Light On

I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]

Let’s Play Two, Well One

Welcome to a between games edition of Wise Madness. The Mets are playing a doubleheader. I could have gone to the game and should have gone today but I decided that was too much as I’m going out tonight and I went to the Met game yesterday. Yesterday was weird. Tuesdays game was suspended in […]

Love and Bacon

I have solved a question that has been confounding philosophers, poets, and psychologists since people gained the power of speech; “What is love?” The answer is going to sound like a joke, but I am totally serious. Love is a person having the same effect on another as bacon has on me. That’s not nearly […]

The LunÀtico Is Not On the Grass

Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]

Jovial Music

Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]

Canine Comforting

I’m writing this while using my chair’s headrest. It is shaped exactly like a cat. It even purrs and triggers my cat allergy. I have to be very careful about not touching my eyes. Let’s see if she can help me write; What’s that you say? “Meow?’ I don’t think that’s the word I’m looking […]

A Cheesy Idiot Story

I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]
