Wise Madness
I’m feeling good this morning even if I didn’t get quite enough sleep. Last night I got a late long phone call, just what I love, and when I hung out I recorded Gord’s Gold. None of that kept me up that late but it pumped my adrenaline. It was the opposite of feeling out […]
I’ve been better about blogging every day but missed yesterday. I’ll blame therapy as it serves something of the same purpose for me. The thoughts bounce around my head with such force that they hurt if I don’t let them out. Right now, my thoughts are on bacon. I ran out of bacon about a […]
I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]
Last night was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s guests were The Bright Siders, Shanna in a Dress, and Izzy Heltai. A month ago, the only ones I knew were The Bright Siders, I’ve known Kristin Andreassen forever, Critter through Kristin, and Kari for close to […]
I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]
Yesterday’s highlight was the performance of one of favorite holiday rituals, the Tannenbaum defenestration. This was only my second time observing the ritual. I’m Jewish, I might sing Christmas carols, but I don’t do Christmas trees, but I live with someone who does, and I enjoy second-hand Christmas. My roommate is Christmas Tree Orthodox, the […]
I usually watch streaming concerts on Sunday. I decided that I just didn’t feel like it today. My plan was to listen to Irish Music on WFUV while I write. Then just as I was starting I got a message on FB that Rod Picott was going live and I haven’t seen Rod in ages. […]
When I write I turn on the classical music station WQXR or listen to instrumental jazz, as they are less distracting. This doesn’t work when WQXR plays Largo al Factotum from The Rabbit of Seville. It’s over. Paul Calvalconte is following it with William Grant Still’s Wood Notes, excellent music to work to. I was […]
We had an insurrection yesterday, an American Beerhall Putsch. I will address that, I have to, but let me calm myself first recounting my day. I had a pleasant morning, during breakfast, eggs Horvendile, I watched The Expanse, the best show on TV. Last Wednesday I forgot to watch. Yesterday I watched as soon as […]
Wow, I’m starting to write at 9:22 like I’m supposed to. I also woke up before my alarm. Maybe my body is getting past the pandemic blurring of time. That would be nice. Or maybe it’s the drugs. We’ll get to the drugs in a bit. Yesterday I had my colonoscopy. Those who follow me […]
