Wise Madness
Today is a rare staying at school later than I have to update. Why? I could go home stay there for an hour, then turn around but I decided instead that I’ll stay at school, have a leisurely dinner out, then go see Anna Dagmar conduct at Hunter college. I might take a nap while […]
On Thursday night I saw Dar’s annual Christmas week show at the Bell House. Thanks to the plague this is the first one in three years. Slowly my traditions return. COVID-19 isn’t over, but life goes on. It’s all about balancing risks and rewards. How did I balance? I went but wore an N95 mask […]
The problem with missing a day blogging is that I have to remember what happened two days ago. That’s more than a mayfly lifetime. You’ll have to forgive me I’ll have to leave out the things I forgot. Today is Thursday, counting backward on my fingers leads me to believe that two days ago was […]
I have so much to do so of course I’m going to blog. The fact that I don’t know what I’m going to write about won’t stop me. I won’t bury the lede, I’m getting my COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow. I became eligible on February 15. I read that I could make appointments starting on the […]
When I write I turn on the classical music station WQXR or listen to instrumental jazz, as they are less distracting. This doesn’t work when WQXR plays Largo al Factotum from The Rabbit of Seville. It’s over. Paul Calvalconte is following it with William Grant Still’s Wood Notes, excellent music to work to. I was […]
I should have written this two hour ago, better late than never. I had another good day yesterday. Not as exciting as Sunday when I heard live music and at a restaurant with a friend. Yesterday’s accomplishments were sitting in for Tragedy Ann’s John Platt’s On Your Radar tech rehearsal. Rob Hinkal directs the show. […]
My life is so boring now that I should do some creative writing. I did write a poem while in the bathroom at 6:30 AM. I’m surprised I remember that I wrote it; I forgot until this moment. I recorded it as a voice memo on my phone. I think this is the first time […]
It’s Monday and I haven’t written since Thursday. I’ve been busy and that means I have a lot to catch up on. I’m not sure how I’ll do this, go light on details or write multiple entries or one very long entry. None of those appeal to me. I’ll improvise like Pat Mahomes on a […]
I didn’t write today but as I can’t write tomorrow I should try and write something now. Let’s see how this goes. It will be short and personal. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m not in a good place mentally right now. I am depressed. I’m don’t want to get out of bed […]
I’ve become a late in the day blogger. I prefer writing in the morning because I think that’s easier for My Gentle Readers. Don’t blame me, blame my friends that have eaten into my blogging time. Yesterday Bri called me, today I met Carolyn for lunch. I wouldn’t normally want to blame my friends but […]
