Leave the Porch Light On

I have more time today than I planned. I was going to have my therapy in person but 95º weather argues against walking five miles in the middle of the day. I’ll do it by phone today. Ugh, my next one is at 9:30 AM. I’ll have to get up early if I want to […]

Let’s Play Two, Well One

Welcome to a between games edition of Wise Madness. The Mets are playing a doubleheader. I could have gone to the game and should have gone today but I decided that was too much as I’m going out tonight and I went to the Met game yesterday. Yesterday was weird. Tuesdays game was suspended in […]

The LunÀtico Is Not On the Grass

Yesterday’s adventure involved going into deepest darkest Brooklyn aka Bed Stuy. I went with friends to see Madeleine Peyroux at LunÀtico. For reasons that I don’t understand I’ve never been there before. How have I not heard live music at one of the City’s premiere small venues? It’s even named after me, unless they were […]

Jovial Music

Yesterday I did two things that I always say I need to do more of, see live classical music and hang out with Erika. We went to see The Mostly Mozart Festival at Damrosch Park. That’s the park and bandshell in Lincoln Center. It was part of the Restart Stages, referring to the restart of […]

Canine Comforting

I’m writing this while using my chair’s headrest. It is shaped exactly like a cat. It even purrs and triggers my cat allergy. I have to be very careful about not touching my eyes. Let’s see if she can help me write; What’s that you say? “Meow?’ I don’t think that’s the word I’m looking […]

A Cheesy Idiot Story

I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]

A Major Award

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game; they played the Atlanta Braves. For once I didn’t leave late, I forwent my Donut Walk™ to make sure I got to Citi Field with time to spare. Even then I was not there as early as I would have liked, I figured I’d get my walking […]

Busy as a Me

It’s amazing how fast my life came back, in the last eight days I went to three concerts, a baseball game, and dinner with friends. I’m going to have to consider getting a monthly MetroCard. One argument against that is the temptation to take public transit to places I now walk to. I like walking […]

Two to the Power of Six

Today is my birthday but I have nothing planned. Yesterday Carey and Barbara took me out to dinner at Junior’s for my birthday. I suspect that I have celebrated my birthday more often with Carey than with anyone else. I’ve known him since 1977. I screwed up and went to the wrong Juniors first, there’s […]

Another Tale Told by an Idiot

Good news, you get to read an idiot story. Until the Wise Madness market research department tells me otherwise, I will assume that the thing My Gentle Readers most want to read about is me being an idiot. My supervisor agrees. She also supervisors the production of Gord’s Gold. I don’t mind the supervision, I […]
