Crohnsy Capitalism

No, I’m not dead, kidnapped, hospitalized, or abducted by aliens, I just haven’t blogged in days and days. I apologize. I had good reason for not blogging at the start. On Friday I was a daredevil. On the way home from my walk I bought corn on the cob from a pop up stand on […]

Call Me Matt Murdoch

Mea Culpa, I’ve gotten terrible about updating. The last two days I found myself in the land of the lotus eaters for hours in the morning, the hypnopompia. This is why I have never used drugs; I have an addictive personality. It is so pleasant that I can’t tear myself away. I’m on a run […]

Nash Equilibrium

I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]

What is Green?

I own you a health report after yesterday’s post. My vaccination reaction or Crohn’s attack ended the way so many Crohn’s attacks do, in my sleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up and knew I was better. I don’t know the word to describe how I felt when I was sick. For […]

I’m a Reactionary

Today’s edition of Wise Madness is not going to go the way I thought it would when I went to sleep. I had yesterday nicely planned. I woke up early, popped out of bed, blogged early, and was finished with breakfast before noon. For me that’s early. The CDC announced Emergency approval of a second […]

GI Bill

Yesterday’s adventure was a trip to my gastroenterologist. I do that about three times a year. I think that’s based on how often he likes to talk about music with me. I suspect most people don’t look forward to the social aspect of going to the doctor. I love mine. It’s a schlep to get […]

Roe v Fish Eggs

I’m out of the habit of writing. I must get back into it. This should have been written this morning. I have so many things on my mind. The problem is that I’m mentally sharp and it’s hard to keep things balanced on anything that comes to a point. One project that took some time […]

Shooting for the Dune

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 […]

Does This Mean I’m Magnetic?

I had an MRI yesterday; will that make me resonate with you? I didn’t think so. The test was scheduled for 2:45 and I couldn’t eat for four hours beforehand so I had what was for me a big breakfast. I finished off the bacon, that means I have to buy more. The worst part […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]
