Wise MadnessI’ve had health issues the last few days, a Crohn’s attack and a cold at the same time. This was a true Crohn’s attack, inflammation, not an obstruction caused by scarring from previous attacks. The symptoms are hard to describe; it’s not painful; more than anything it’s enervating. I spend most of my time drifting […]
I’m all over my Crohn’s attack but it messed with my sleep cycle. After sleeping all weekend last night, I couldn’t get to sleep, so I ended up sleeping until noon. On the bright side I did get to watch the middle part of one of my favorite Classic Doctor Who serials, The Hand of […]
My therapist canceled yesterday which meant finding other ways to care for my mental health. Good thing I already had one planned, seeing Sharon Goldman at Free Music Fridays at the American Folk Art Museum. When I taught a few blocks away I was a regular at the series. It’s still convenient and as Lara […]
Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]
Today I finally wrap up writing about Falcon Ridge. Good thing as I’m going stir crazy at home doing nothing to write about. It’s been a weird week. I’ve done nothing and I’ve seen no one. It’s been me and the cats along with some phone calls from Bri. Sunday morning at Falcon Ridge was […]
I’m off to the New Bedford Folk Festival today. Too bad my digestive system is unhappy. It’s an obstruction from the scar tissue in my small intestine. This time I didn’t eat anything stupid. I’m just paying for a lifetime of Crohn’s disease. All the years I had no insurance and as off meds did […]
I changed up my usual routine and I’m starting this at the time I’m usually finishing writing. I had my breakfast and most importantly my coffee. One of the best things about iced coffee is that I don’t have to brew it every day. I just pour it. I pronounce the d in iced coffee. […]
This is a tale of a long walk, a doughnut, a chance meeting, and John Platt’s On Your Radar featuring Matt Marshak, Sarah Eide (rhymes with hay duh), and Martin Swinger. Sorry I’m posting so late; the coda will explain why. Yesterday was a beautiful day and I decided to take advantage of it. Instead […]
I did things worth writing about yesterday. I went to see Emily Mure and the Young Novelist at Pete’s Candy Store. I love when my world fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. I love Emily as a musician and a person. I love Graydon and Laura as musicians and people. I know the independently of […]
Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]
