Wise MadnessLast night I went to see B at the Bitter End. They were billed as B Betts and I like the sound of B Betts at the Bitter End. Lots of alliteration. B is the stage name of Oliver Esposito. I might find myself saying Ollie because B just is an Ollie. Ollie is 18, […]
Today i deal with sleep issues, steak, people not taking responsibility, and people assigning responsibility when they shouldn’t.
A few days ago I said that I had nothing planned. I was wrong. I have something planned for every day. Yesterday’s plans were made on the fly. First I went over to see Jane who is in from Portland to take care of things at the apartment she’s trying to sell. We didn’t get […]
Last night I went to Dar’s annual Boxing Day show. It wasn’t on Boxing Day. I don’t know if anyone else calls it her Boxing Day show. I’m know why I call it her Boxing Day show. It might be because of the one year there was a blizzard on Boxing Day when the show […]
I gotta late start today, I got out of bed at 1PM. I didn’t wake up on Christmas morning hours before the winter’s sun’s ignited; but I do believe in dreams and all they mean including heaven’s generosity. I know what day it is. Last you heard I was heading out to spend an exciting […]
Last night I went to one of my favorite annual traditions, caroling with the Terre Roche and the Caroling Carolers. There were two first yesterdays, the first time in 45 years of the CCs caroling that it rained, and the first time since I friended Terre Roche on Facebook and once again started going every […]
Last night I had a great time seeing Christine Lavin and friends at Urban Stages. Her friends were Julie Gold, Katherine Rondeau. and Karen Jacobsen. It could have been called “Gordon’s Friends, without Gordon.” That’s not quite accurate as I don’t know Karen even though I’ve driven with her many times. Karen is an Aussie […]
Welcome to a clear liquid diet edition of Wise Madness. I’m having a colonoscopy tomorrow so that’s all I’m allowed to have today. Back in the old days I could eat breakfast the day before. Normally I eat nothing before blogging but as this takes no cooking and I can’t eat anything after 5PM I […]
This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]
Dateline Van Merc Hill: I hear other people awake. I could join them but it’s parent/child time so I think I’ll write till breakfast starts cooking. There are still other guests sleeping. I’m used to be the last to wake up. Yesterday was Second Thanksgiving. I think I like that even more than first Thanksgiving. […]
