Let’s Play Two, Well One

Welcome to a between games edition of Wise Madness. The Mets are playing a doubleheader. I could have gone to the game and should have gone today but I decided that was too much as I’m going out tonight and I went to the Met game yesterday. Yesterday was weird. Tuesdays game was suspended in […]

A Tale of Two Idiots

I’m behind on my blogging so now I have lots to write about. I had been looking forward to Friday for months; South for Winter was playing at the Troubadour in New Jersey. Sure, that’s two hours from me but this is South for Winter, my favorite band. I’m a Snowbird, the name I came […]

A Major Award

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game; they played the Atlanta Braves. For once I didn’t leave late, I forwent my Donut Walk™ to make sure I got to Citi Field with time to spare. Even then I was not there as early as I would have liked, I figured I’d get my walking […]

I don’t know if I should file this under selfcare or self-harm. I didn’t take  my walk yesterday. I decided I needed a day not getting dressed. I went to the store a few blocks away but that did not involve getting dressed though I did put on sandals. I wore my lounging around the […]

Busy as a Me

It’s amazing how fast my life came back, in the last eight days I went to three concerts, a baseball game, and dinner with friends. I’m going to have to consider getting a monthly MetroCard. One argument against that is the temptation to take public transit to places I now walk to. I like walking […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]

Lost Cause

There’s no joy in Metsville. Yesterday was one of the most painful losses I even attended. The Mets scored five runs before there were two outs in the bottom of the first. That’s great. But they never scored and hardly got any hits after that. In the meantime, the Pirates, the worst team in baseball, […]

Another Tale Told by an Idiot

Good news, you get to read an idiot story. Until the Wise Madness market research department tells me otherwise, I will assume that the thing My Gentle Readers most want to read about is me being an idiot. My supervisor agrees. She also supervisors the production of Gord’s Gold. I don’t mind the supervision, I […]

Baseball, Food, and Music: The Holy Trinity

Here’s a peek inside my brain. I just read something on Facebook that got me mad. Ten seconds later I have no idea what it was. I’m not going to go back and try and find it. It was neither politics nor baseball, the two topics that generate the most posts that offend me. Guess […]

Love Like God Loves

I had an eventful day, let’s see what I can remember, I walked 6 miles, an idiot story that involved blood being spilled, an unpleasant encounter with the police, hit subway delays, and a great Met game. I end with a eulogy for a friend. That was my day. I guess I’m finished writing. Oh, […]
