Lots of Screen Time

I’m finally getting around to writing. It looks like I’m taking today off. What does that even mean for me? It means avoiding all stress. Yesterday I had therapy. I had to deal with something I can’t talk about here. It doesn’t help that my next session is next year. The next two Fridays are […]

Lovely Rita

I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]

Musical Infusion

Yesterday I had my infusion. The car showed up early, but I was ready. It fit in my plan as after I was dropped off I went across the street from the infusion center to get bagels. I can’t get it after because they close at 3:30. I still checked in way early. I don’t […]

Dream within a Dream

My therapy appointment yesterday was for 11 AM. It’s a phone session and I get ready by plugging in my earbuds a few minutes early. When the buds are plugged in I have it set so the phone answers without me doing anything. At 11:03 the phone rang, and I said, “Hi Connie,” and what […]

Risky Business

Disaster struck yesterday; the air fryer stopped working. The instructions said to leave it unplugged when not in use. I plugged it in, and the power light stayed off. I am addicted to my air fryer. How bad is it? I didn’t make the chicken I planned for last night and just had peanut butter […]

Visions of Paradise

I failed at dinner last night. I had planned on making dinner around 8 PM then I got a notification that Tribal Mischief was doing an interview with Alisa Amador on their Twitch channel at 8. During the intros I ran into the kitchen and made myself a peanut butter on chocolate chip brioche sandwich. […]

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and I’m immersing myself in Christmas Music. That’s what happens when you want to do a holiday album show for Folk Music Notebook. I’m listening to RUNA‘s new one, The Tide of Winter as I write this. I will give it a full concentration listen later. Then I have to the scary […]

It’s Not About Turkey

I was thinking of not writing today. I was specifically thinking of not writing a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. Thinking about it led directly to me writing  a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. I was thinking this through while preparing breakfast. Every morning I spend considerable time considering what to make for breakfast. Unlike […]

Girding My Loins

I decided it’s better to write late than never. Instead of following blogging with breakfast I’ll follow it with dinner. Of course, that means I have to decide what I’m going to write about. I could write about Trump pardoning Flynn but there is no point. Nobody needs me to tell them how wrong that […]

Beauty is in the Eye

Another day another complaint that I’m writing too late in the day. What’s worse is that I skipped yesterday. Now I have to go deep into my memory banks to remember what I wanted to write about. I did write  yesterday, my Gord’s Gold about Barnaby Bright. Gord’s Gold is unfair. I only write about […]
