Wise Madness
I haven’t blogged in forever and a day. I’ve missed writing about some great shows and the Mets. Now I’m going to try my hand at something I used to do quite a bit and was my original conception of what Wise Madness should be, explaining my thoughts. Today’s topic is, why people follow religious […]
It’s Christmas day so I better write this now or I will have to save it until next year. It’s not going to be my usual “Peace on Earth and goodwill to men” Christmas blog. It is also not going to be a cynical bah humbug blog. I can’t do that as I am filled […]
Greetings My Gentle Readers and all the ships at sea. I’ve returned from the dead. Fine, I wasn’t dead, I was just very sore and lacking in time and energy. Now I’m just a little sore, have some time, and have 32 oz of coffee energy in me. That should be wearing off but I’m […]

Chanukkah? Kwanzaa? Solstice? For 30 million Americans the answer this year was Festivus and that number is only likely to increase in the […]
I’m finally getting around to writing. It looks like I’m taking today off. What does that even mean for me? It means avoiding all stress. Yesterday I had therapy. I had to deal with something I can’t talk about here. It doesn’t help that my next session is next year. The next two Fridays are […]
I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]
