Back to the Future

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 […]

Captain Marvel vs My Stupidity

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 […]

Alan LX

Living in the Bronx means taking a trek most days. Yesterday’s was an extra long one to Greenvale Long Island. What would bring me out to that suburban backwater? Alan’s surprise 60th birthday party. I had tickets to see Vienna Teng and Jean Rohe was doing a co-bill with Rachael Kilgore but they’ll all play […]

Hanneke? It isn’t even Halloween!

I’m sleepy, have a cold, and I’m cold. I feel like crawling back into bed and getting under the covers. Why am I not doing that? I did write yesterday, so I owe you a blog. My Gentle Readers are more important than my creature comforts. I’m a saint, the patron saint of bloggers. Once […]

The Wright Stuff

My eyes aren’t glowing and I’m not glowering. I’m not going to preach and I’m not going to tell you what you’re doing and thinking wrong. I look at my Facebook feed and see fear and despair. That calls for a thanksgiving and hope edition of Wise Madness. I’m not even going to tell you […]

John Adams

I missed a day blogging and now I have to catch up. Last night I felt like I had enough for a book; this morning I’m feeling less inspired. That’s a problem as what I wanted to write about was feeling inspired. Life is not linear. I’ll start with something simple. I went to the […]

MRI Discus Politics and Baseball

I never got dressed yesterday so writing about my day is simple. I blogged. I walked down the block to the supermarket to get milk and eggs, and I finished watching Iron Fist This might cost me all my street cred but I loved season 2. It left so many threads dangling that I can’t […]

D Train! D Train!

I don’t have that much time so I’m going to blast away and write about yesterday without much thought and see how that works out. If it’s short it’s short. I have therapy on Fridays at 2:45; I usually schedule my psychiatrist appointments immediately afterward but that means I’m often rushed going to whatever my […]

You Realize This Means Wins Above Replacement

Last night I went to the Met game. … I said before that Alan’s mind works differently than mine. That helped shape the rest of what I’m going to write about, the way I understand, and have always understood baseball.

Bands Not Baseball

Here’s my problem, I have to write about Falcon Ridge but I’m also living my life and doing things worth writing about. I am going to try and write two entries a day. That’s rough as I’m still sleep deprived. On that note I’ll write about last night as that will require the least energy. […]
