I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]

I was up way too late last night, and then woke up four hours later and didn’t get right back to sleep so I’ll give myself a pass for not writing until 2:00 PM. Yesterday I had a wilderness adventure. It started with me going to get tested for COVID-19. John Platt’s On Your Radar […]
I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]

The functional depression has been hitting me hard. I’ve spent too much of the last two days sleeping. Realizing that I forced myself to be proactive. I took a five-and-a-half mile walk through some neighborhoods I rarely go to. Going how I just choose to walk down streets I haven’t walked before. I wanted to […]

Let’s see if this works. I’m forcing myself to write this morning. I can’t eat or watch John Oliver until I do. I want to get back in the habit of writing every morning. What did I do yesterday? I went on my Aldi Walk™ one of the many less fulfilling substitutes for my Donut […]
I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]

ESPecially For You
Last Tuesday I attended John Platt’s On Your Radar. I’m closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation. None of the artists, John, or myself have turned up with symptoms. The artists are at the greatest risk as they are unmasked while performing. I would love it if we could have a follow-up from everyone who attended. As […]

He Chortled In His Joy
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Krispy Kreme is open for walk-in customers again! As I’m taking the bus up to visit Emily and the girls for Thanksgiving, I thought it best to get a COVID-19 test today. There’s a place does that does testing across the street and down the block from Krispy Kreme. I […]
It’s 9:08 AM and I’m writing, how did that happen? I actually started before 9:00 but the insert time keyboard shortcut alt+shift+T wasn’t working. Instead that was opening the snipping tool. It wasn’t just in word but in all apps. I couldn’t figure out what happened until I googles alt+shift+T and discovered that happens in […]

Interview
Welcome to a watching post-season baseball game edition of Wise Madness. The reason I’m writing so late is what I have to write about. At 10 AM I had my third and final interview with the charter school group I applied to teach at. For many of you that’s the middle of the day, for […]
