Let’s start with an idiot story; you know why? I’m an idiot. This starts immediately after I updated yesterday. I wrote about how I had a lot of time pressure and had to get moving. I was good and went right into the shower so that I could take my Donut Walk™ and be back […]

I have the same question as Sandy Denny, Where Does The Time Go? I know the answer, sports. For years I was a huge sports fan, Mets, and Knicks. When my life fell apart I kept my love for the games but could no longer watch them and went to far fewer games. There was […]

How have I not written for three days? Sure, I haven’t done much but that’s no excuse. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t write yesterday. I just checked to see if I wrote something and forgot to post it, no, didn’t happen. The first two skipped days were because I was sick. I simply […]

Viscera vs Brain

Today’s plans are shot; I’m sick. I suspect it started as a reaction to something I ate that then triggered swelling in my intestines leading to an obstruction. I won’t give you the gory details, just that I’ve spent most of today sleeping and haven’t eaten anything. As you might guess that meant no Donut […]

The Return of the deGrom (and me)

Sorry for not writing yesterday. On the bright side I something worth writing about, went to my first Met game since 2019. I wanted to get my walk in so instead hopping on the D or 4 train near my house I walked down to Fordham Road and got the D there. I was going […]

Getting Ripped

I’m writing a rare pre-9AM edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’d write before I left home to teach. Last I left you I said that I would call a friend and try to hang out today. That didn’t happen,  I listened to the Met game instead. I don’t […]

Swedish Meatball in the Rabbit Hole

Today I’m going to do something I used to do often, write about the random rabbit hole my mind went down when thinking about something completely different. It’s how I spend a great deal of my life, now matter what else I seem to be doing. The path to this rabbit hole started with last […]

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to get myself asleep earlier. Last night I stayed up late by choice, I watched the Lakers-Warriors game. I get to watch postseason basketball on TV as it’s on free channels ESPN and TNT. This was postseason but it was not a playoff game, it was a play-in game, a practice […]

Life Simple

I ended up not taking my Donut Walk™ yesterday. For the first time in a while, I made a conscious, stay-in-my-PJs day. For so long that was the norm the fact that now it’s a deliberate choice is a good thing, it felt like a luxury. I’m going out today for a house concert at […]

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Do you think EL&P would work on Gord’s Gold? I will take that dirty look as a no. Do I have Gentle Readers that have no idea what I’m talking about? It’s the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer song Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression Part 2. […]
