Wise Madness
I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]
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 had a crisis this morning. I went to make breakfast and found something I missed washing last night. I put it in the sink, turned on the water, and nothing came out. Why is this a crisis? You should be way ahead of me. It had nothing to do with cleaning the rack from […]
Yesterday was not a good mental health day; I didn’t do anything. I lost myself on Facebook. I am not one of those people that thinks it’s toxic. I love Facebook. It’s made my life better. Perhaps because of my own problems I was getting annoyed with people yesterday. No, that’s not true. I always […]
I’m going to continue my discussion of the Mets after a brief account of my day. I saw my gastroenterologist today. I’m not down to routine visits every five or six months. I asked her about the problems I had last week, and she suspects food poisoning. Makes sense to me. I’m back to a […]
The baseball season ended yesterday so it’s a good day to discuss the national pastime. I’ll start with the Mets. I might end with the Mets too. There might be nothing but the Mets. It depends on how much I have to say. FiveThirtyEight’s preseason prediction for the Mets was 84—78, they finished at 86 […]
I changed up my usual routine and I’m starting this at the time I’m usually finishing writing. I had my breakfast and most importantly my coffee. One of the best things about iced coffee is that I don’t have to brew it every day. I just pour it. I pronounce the d in iced coffee. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I better get on this. I have to get out and see the psychiatrist today. I did something different, I ate breakfast before writing. Let’s see how I do with a tummy full of bacon. I was born and lived most of my life in Queens. I now live in the Bronx. My dream was […]
