I’m writing my first think piece in quite a while. When I started Wise Madness it was my intention to write mainly think pieces. I discovered it’s hard to come up with something new every day, it’s even harder to remember the ideas, and posting them causes anxiety. I’m always afraid how people will take […]

Yesterday I went to my second Met game of the year, they were playing the Phillies, they are fighting each other for first place. It was my first game with Alan, my usually sports buddy.
This is a first this season, I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are playing the Cards and winning 1 – 0. Alonso hit another home run. He’s off to the fastest start I can remember from a Met rookie to start a season. And now the Mets are losing 3 – 1 without […]
For years I’ve set my alarm on weekday mornings for 8:30. I decided last night to move my schedule up half an hour and wake up at 8:00. The alarm went off, I woke up, turned off the alarm, and fell right back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 8:29. This adjustment might take […]
Dateline WFUV: I’m once again writing from the phone room at the radio station. I’m supervising the phone volunteers during the member drive. I am spending virtually no time at home out of bed. Yesterday I went straight from the station to Rockwood Music Hall for the April Edition of John Platt’s On Your Radar. John’s […]
I’m racing against the clock I have 35 minutes until the Met game starts. I have to watch that on a TV in another room where using my computer is more difficult and I don’t want to be distracted. Yesterday was a busy day, not good when racing the blogging clock. I might have to […]
I finished watching Ken Burns’ Baseball and that gives me an excuse to write about the greatest game in January. But first a word from my life. On the bus ride home from the supermarket yesterday my phone rang; it was my gastroenterologist. She got the results of my MRI. She wants to move up […]
This is one of those Gaulic editions of Wise Madness it is divided into three parts. The first and most important concerns my health. I had my post-colonoscopy follow-up appointment with my gastroenterologist and in the process set many other medical procedures in motion. As soon as the colonoscopy was done the Dr. Kwah told […]
I didn’t see Jean Rohe last night. I had a good reason, I’ve been going out every day, I saw her twice in the last two weeks, and the WFUV Member Drive starts tomorrow and I need all the rest I can get. I still feel bad I missed the show. I’m being stupid enough […]
Welcome to idiotville. I was planning on fasting today to prep for tomorrow’s colonoscopy. Great idea except that the appointment is for Thursday. I never got my call telling me how to prep. I called today and found out that I need someone to take me home from the procedure. I’m now scrambling to find […]
