I didn’t have a good night’s sleep, but I had a great breakfast, chocolate chip brioche French toast, eggs, and sausage, and two strong cups of Marie’s coffee. Marie’s Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans & Gifts is an official member of my pantheon and so gets name checked. The poor sleep is coming too often of […]

Tom Seaver died. I am rarely affected by celebrity deaths; these aren’t people I knew personally. I did not have a relationship with them. Not many eulogies have found their way into Wise Madness but Tom Terrific cannot be denied. New York was filled with sports hero in my adolescence, Namath, Frazier, and Reed, but […]
I should have left the house the last two days. Not because there was anything I particularly needed to do. Not because I needed the exercise, not because I needed the fresh air. I needed the change of scenery to reset my mind. I’m having a bad attack of holier than thou. I was planning […]
I got two phone calls today which slowed me down. Since the day before my birthday I’ve gotten so many calls that I haven’t felt the need to call anyone. There are specific people that I want to talk to, but I’m all talked out. This is a good problem to have. The seal on […]

Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]
I lucked out. I have to leave the house today to pick up a prescription and it’s a beautiful day. I will take a long walk and get exercise. I just have to figure out where to walk. You’ll find that out when I write tomorrow. I’ll continue to be good and keep updating. I […]
I almost skipped writing today. It’s been getting more difficult of late, but I thought of something I wanted to say. It’s not about world news, it’s not deep philosophy, and it’s not even music. It’s the new addition to the household, an air fryer. Beruthiel picked one up and I didn’t wait to try […]
I had plans for a doubleheader yesterday, instead I stayed home. I didn’t see the free performance of Beethoven’s 15th String Quartet in the afternoon because I couldn’t get myself out in time. I didn’t see Kemp Harris in the evening because I couldn’t afford it. I didn’t go shopping because the weather was yucky, […]
I was going to go shopping yesterday but couldn’t face the rain. My mother would say, “What? Your made of sugar?” I have double plans for today and tomorrow, so I don’t know what I’ll do. Today I’m going to the New York Botanical Garden Train Show with Allison and Joe and then to my […]
Yesterday my top albums of 2019 show aired on Folk Music Notebook. This was my longest foray into solo radio, an hour and a half. I found it much easier doing live radio with Brian. Partially it was having Brian around, when I was lost as to what to say I’d insult Brian, or he […]
