Mental Physical Health Progress

I was in way too good a mood during therapy yesterday. I know why but that’s not the most useful state to be in for the therapy to be effective. It’s not that I don’t want to be in a good mood, it’s that I want to time them for when I’m not working on […]

Musical Blips

I’m starting this early, 9:02 AM. Maybe that means I’ll get things done today. I’m less tired than I’ve been most mornings of late. I’ll hope for the best. Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I was at John Platt’s On Your Radar; the guests were Blue Plate Special, Orly […]

Radar in a Roman Field

Welcome to a not feeling human until afternoon edition of Wise Madness. I discussed this with my psychiatrist yesterday and it finally got through my sleep dulled head that this might not be depression; that the reason I’m so sleepy is my sleep apnea. Depression and anxiety might exacerbate it, but I bet the main […]

On the Wrong Track

I expected to have more to write about today, but last night’s plans were waylaid by the MTA. Molsky’s Mountain Drifters played at Jenkins House Concerts on the upper west side. I was looking forward to seeing Bruce Molsky and it’s been way to long since I’ve seen the Jenkins clan. Somebody put a curse […]

How Do You Do …

I found something that helps with writer’s block, writing. They key is that as I had trouble writing Wise Madness I wrote a Gord’s Gold. I’ve been having trouble writing that too; but using it as a substitute for blogging opened the creative gates. It’s all about my mind fooling my mind. I need to […]

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]

No Sim City

I didn’t do much yesterday so I’m tempted to skip writing. What I did do was go to therapy so I will work on not giving into temptation. That isn’t what we discussed in therapy. It was a rough session; I’m having some problems that I don’t want to discuss here. That makes writing tougher. […]

Once Upon A Time in My Brain

I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]

It Came From Outer Space

I hope this is me writing this. Yesterday an alien took over my body and did things with it that I would never do. How bad was this? It packed for Falcon Ridge, two days before I leave. The real me would never do that. I’m leaving Wednesday morning, that means packing Wednesday morning. This […]

Our Gang

I worked on the secret project again yesterday. I think it’s OK if I write a bit more about it. No real details. The best part was that it involved hanging out with Carolann, Mark, Felix, Katherine, and David. I grew up watching the Little Rascals and made me think that what people do when […]
