Oh no, I don’t think I did any interesting food yesterday. The only innovation was cooking my cheddarwurst in the deep fryer instead on my stovetop grill. This was not to make them taste better but to save effort. I used the deep fryer anyway to make the potatoes. I figured this was more efficient […]

As I recount my life in isolation, Wise Madness is becoming even more of a music and food blog than usual. I’m writing this while watching the Kennedys streaming on YouTube. I get great music and time with friends at the same time. Of course, it makes it hard to concentrate on my writing but […]
I’m doing something constructive with my downtime, I created a clearinghouse for streaming concerts on Facebook, Social Distancing Streaming Concerts. With the help of my intrepid partners we are posting links to upcoming streams. I was just posting links then Kristen arranged it so that we can add all FB events to our own event […]
Since I wrote yesterday I’ve had therapy, made poutine, see The Bee Eaters with Sean Watson, and gotten an infusion. I could say that I’m tired just thinking about it but that’s a lie. I’m tired because I got home after 1 AM and my infusion was at 8 AM and I didn’t sleep well. […]
I once said to a friend, “I love food, food likes me.” In one sentence summing up my relationship to both food and my insecurity with people. I’m bringing this up because I’m going to once again write about food. On Monday I bought cheddar curds for the purpose of making poutine. Yesterday I went […]
I’m still behind on my blogging. I’m going to try to write about two days in one entry. There is a common thread between them. Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday, so I went to a concert. It’s not cause and effect but it happens often. The concert was in the afternoon so people can do […]
Today is Mozart’s birthday so my writing soundtrack is Die Zauberflöte. I’m trying to be consistent and use the original language version of Opera titles. The world has not been consistent during my lifetime. Growing up it was always The Magic Flute but never The Rhine Gold. I still can’t say The Girl of the […]
Time for me to stop procrastinating and write. After all these years of therapy and this still happens. It’s pretty deeply embedded in my psyche. Yesterday was Friday so I went to therapy. Sometimes things come together. Anything exciting happen there? Nothing? Really? Not that I can think of. I did do two things I […]

Will I end up writing about how I have nothing to write about? I’ll get the obvious out of the way first. I’m on a streak of perfectly cooked meals. On Tuesday night I made something super simple, a burger and fries. All burgers and fries are not created equal. I finally mastered air-fryer French […]

I have things to write about today including more on the crime of the century, my wallet being snatched. I got a call from the detective working my case; he asked me to come down to the station to view videotape. This was not the same station I went to the night of the crime, […]
