Frodo and Sam Entering Mordor

Listen now to the story of Nine-fingered Frodo and the ring of Doom. Not quite, but you’ll see later why that’s a good way to start. Yesterday I went to the Yankee Game! You read that right; what’s next seeing Dawes? A friend had tickets she couldn’t use and offered them to me. I’m a […]

Let’s start with an idiot story; you know why? I’m an idiot. This starts immediately after I updated yesterday. I wrote about how I had a lot of time pressure and had to get moving. I was good and went right into the shower so that I could take my Donut Walk™ and be back […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]

Tidbits of My Life

I did not go for a walk yesterday and was sleepy all morning today? Is that cause and effect? Do I need my daily exposure to light? I don’t know and I don’t know how to figure it out. The sleepiness can also be from depression. In any even it’s better for me in every […]

The Return of the deGrom (and me)

Sorry for not writing yesterday. On the bright side I something worth writing about, went to my first Met game since 2019. I wanted to get my walk in so instead hopping on the D or 4 train near my house I walked down to Fordham Road and got the D there. I was going […]

Lucky Charm

Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]

Getting Ripped

I’m writing a rare pre-9AM edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’d write before I left home to teach. Last I left you I said that I would call a friend and try to hang out today. That didn’t happen,  I listened to the Met game instead. I don’t […]

I simply forgot to blog today. I’ll see what I can get done while I listen to Gord’s Gold on Folk Music Notebook. It’s going to be tough as the guy that programs it knows exactly what music I love, and he tells great stories. It’s radio so I can’t see what he looks like, […]

Life Simple

I ended up not taking my Donut Walk™ yesterday. For the first time in a while, I made a conscious, stay-in-my-PJs day. For so long that was the norm the fact that now it’s a deliberate choice is a good thing, it felt like a luxury. I’m going out today for a house concert at […]

The Singing Idiot

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Do you think EL&P would work on Gord’s Gold? I will take that dirty look as a no. Do I have Gentle Readers that have no idea what I’m talking about? It’s the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer song Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression Part 2. […]
