Friday Nights are for Singing

A miracle. I’m writing in the morning before breakfast and even coffee. I used to do this all the time, maybe I can get back to it. It helps that yesterday I went out and did things. It was Friday in May or June so if you ever want to bet where I’ll be bet […]

Free Coffee!

I missed one day but it feels like forever since I’ve written. Last night I had these serious ideas to write about. Now I’m not sure what they all were or if I will write any of them. One requires some courage on my part. I’ll start easy, idiot story adjacent, both related to Gord’s […]

Streit Talk

I forgot to blog yesterday. When I miss a day it’s usually because of time management, I start and then get lost doing other things. Not yesterday, I never started; because of that I’ve been on two expeditions since I last wrote. Sunday’s expedition was to Stop & Shop for my Pesach needs. That just […]

I Like to Talk

I didn’t post yesterday and did not have a good excuse. I have plenty to do today but I will write anyway. It’s being constructive as a form of procrastination. I know I’m not the only one that does that. How many of you have cleaned your house as a way of avoiding another chore? […]

Yay, I overcame lethargy and I’m writing for the first time in days. That was tough. Yesterday I went on a shopping adventure to Aldi. This directly led to an idiot story. I prefer going to Aldi on Sundays because that is the only day that the BX1 runs local; to bus stops a block […]

A Day in the Life

I’m not following my normal Sunday schedule. I tried recording Gord’s Gold between one and two PM. At 1:05 I got a notification on my phone that my Amazon delivery was one stop away. As I didn’t want to be interrupted I decided to wait until it arrived to start. I realized that was not […]

Rituals

I’m feeling good about myself today. Yesterday I did some things that would be routine for most people but are a struggle for me. One was depositing a check; I didn’t just have my usual anxiety that comes with that, but I had trouble logging into my online bank account. That always sets my anxiety […]

It’s Not About Turkey

I was thinking of not writing today. I was specifically thinking of not writing a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. Thinking about it led directly to me writing  a Thanksgiving edition of Wise Madness. I was thinking this through while preparing breakfast. Every morning I spend considerable time considering what to make for breakfast. Unlike […]

Filled with Sound and Fury

Forgive me Gentle Readers for I have sinned. I have not blogged in days. I’ve been doing much better in getting things done but slipped up on this. How many days has it been? Three days! I’m confessing to not going to confession. That’s nice and meta and part of my penance. I will now […]
