It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m immersing myself in Christmas Music. That’s what happens when you want to do a holiday album show for Folk Music Notebook. I’m listening to RUNA‘s new one, The Tide of Winter as I write this. I will give it a full concentration listen later. Then I have to the scary […]

It’s Not About Turkey

I was thinking of not writing today. I was specifically thinking of not writing a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. Thinking about it led directly to me writing  a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. I was thinking this through while preparing breakfast. Every morning I spend considerable time considering what to make for breakfast. Unlike […]

Girding My Loins

I decided it’s better to write late than never. Instead of following blogging with breakfast I’ll follow it with dinner. Of course, that means I have to decide what I’m going to write about. I could write about Trump pardoning Flynn but there is no point. Nobody needs me to tell them how wrong that […]

A House Divided

I’m concerned, writing first thing in the morning used to be so easy for me. Now early afternoon feels like an accomplishment. I used to be able to write fine without coffee. I’ll blame COVID-19. It’s not COVID-19’s fault but I know it won’t sue me. The vaccine will give me immunity. I made an […]

Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. I have not blogged in days. I’ve been doing much better in getting things done but slipped up on this. How many days has it been? Three days! I’m confessing to not going to confession. That’s nice and meta and part of my penance. I will now […]

Another day another complaint that I’m writing too late in the day. What’s worse is that I skipped yesterday. Now I have to go deep into my memory banks to remember what I wanted to write about. I did write  yesterday, my Gord’s Gold about Barnaby Bright. Gord’s Gold is unfair. I only write about […]

I’m getting a ridiculously late start writing today. Yesterday is no longer fresh in my mind but I’ll do my best to remember it. If I forget about it let’s blame it on the meds. It has nothing to do with the meds, but I was told I can get away with saying that. Yesterday […]

Yesterday’s outing was to the pharmacy to pick up my new anti-anxiety med, Buspirone. It takes a while for it to build up in the system so it’s too early to see if it helps. While on the prescription pick up line I had an unfortunate encounter with the person behind me. They mark off […]

I missed writing yesterday. Let’s see if I can remember anything I wanted to say. It was in my head for a second then it ran away. It must be scary in my head. Did I leave the house? I don’t think so. Google maps agrees. The weather isn’t good and COVID-19 rates are up, […]

Blip On The Radar

Good morning My Gentle Readers. It is actually morning, when I’m supposed to be writing. I just resisted making breakfast first. Now all I have to do is remember what happened yesterday. That might sound easy but as I have not had breakfast I have also not had coffee. This will be a challenge. I’m […]
