Sorry I’ve been MIA; I’ve had Crohn’s problems since Sunday. I’ve always called it a Crohn’s attack, but my doctor doesn’t as it’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction due to damage done by old flare ups. Picture the end of my small intestine, the terminal ileum, as a mass of scar tissue. Things […]

Is this an idiot story? This morning after breakfast I started feeling the bloat of a Crohn’s attack coming on. Then it got better. Then ate way too many sweets. Now my tummy feels bloated again. Yes, that counts as an idiot story. I hope I feel up to eating dinner later. I ate breakfast […]
I went on an expedition yesterday, a quest in search of beef gravy to make poutine. That meant heading to Stop & Shop a few miles away. On the way I finished my facemask survey. After observing 247 people the results are 62.4% of men wore masks and 61.2% of the women. We can reject […]

Idiot Savant
I tell many idiot stories but here’s one with a twist, an idiot story that turns into a genius story. Like everyone else I’ve been wearing nothing but pants with elastics waistbands and drawstrings. As I was getting out of a pair I somehow managed to get one end of the drawstring stuck in my […]
I’m still working on my making my phone mine. I just add the MTA app. I’m not using that now but someday I’ll need to buy tickets again. I love that I could sign in with my fingerprint. I didn’t have to remember my password. That’s how everything should be done, biometrics. Much better than […]

Hooked on Phone-ics
Today’s adventures are with my phone and a statistical breakdown of facemask users in my neighborhood. Yesterday my new phone was delivered. The first anxiety was uncertainty about getting the SIM card out of my old phone. I always have trouble doing that. I tried with various pointing objects and always failed. Someone at Boost […]

Where do all my great blogging ideas go when I start to write? I suspect they are all stuck in cushions of my comfy chair. One day I’ll take a look and will have enough for a book. I took most of yesterday off from watching streaming concerts. Of course, that means I saw all […]
I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]
I have to get out of this blogging every other day routine. I need to get out of the blogging late routine. That’s an isolation goal. Let’s see if I can succeed. Blame and problems or delays in this entry on Laurie MacAllister and Ellis Paul who are streaming live as I write this. Now […]

Social Closening
Do I go out and shop now or do I write first? Which is procrastinating? I’ll write first. After I shop I have to change and wash up. It’s now four hours later and I did neither. If that surprises you, welcome new reader of Wise Madness. I had a good excuse. I got a […]
