Wise Madness
Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]
I hope I properly reset my circadian rhythm this morning. On Saturday I slept until 11. I let myself do that on Saturday. Then I did it again on Sunday. I went to sleep at 1:30 instead of midnight last night but when I woke up at 7:40 I left myself go back to sleep […]
I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]
Did you wonder why I wasn’t writing? I’ve been sick. I’m still sick. It’s what I always call my Crohn’s but should call an intestinal obstruction. My intestines have multiple constrictions from 50 years of Crohn’s disease plus hernias and surgical scars. I woke obstructed yesterday and have not eaten since Sunday night. I drink […]
Sorry for not posting; I’m not dead but I am sick. It’s my Crohn’s disease. I’ve eaten nothing since breakfast yesterday. I managed to watch some streaming concerts yesterday, The Ladlesmy latest musical discovery, and then Christine Lavin who I’ve known for over 30 years. I just realized I’ve known her for almost exactly half […]
I have done nothing interesting since I last blogged. Not quite true as I had poutine for dinner and poutine is always interesting. I wasn’t planning on it, but the chicken hadn’t defrosted, and I don’t have defrost a potato. Can you eat a potato after it’s been frozen? I think the protagonist of The […]
I’ve procrastinated enough, time for a report on my birthday. Let’s start with breakfast. I wasn’t sure of what treat to make myself then Becky Bliss sent me birthday wishes that included a peanut butter omelet. That’s what I ate. Becky didn’t give me the omelet; she gave me the idea. I haven’t had that […]
Let’s get right down to what’s important. Yesterday was Canada Day; what did I have for dinner. If you don’t know the answer you don’t know me well. I had poutine! I didn’t have any gravy in the house, so I had to make an expedition to Stop & Shop. As long as I was […]
Socially isolating makes blogging difficult. I used to write about what I did when I went out. Now I never go out except to go shopping. What am I left with? I tell you who I spoke to on the phone but that’s a lot more fun to do that to read about. That’s especially […]
I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]
