Wise MadnessIt’s time to get back to writing. I had a bout of COVID-19 but that might be more of an excuse for not writing than a reason. It’s hard writing every day. How did I do it for 20 years? My blogging muscles were strong from use. I must make the strong again. I’m not […]
Unbelievably I’m writing again. I have fallen behind even though I’m hardly doing anything. I’ll divide this entry into two parts, my health, for those who want to know how their friend is doing, and my musical adventure, for those who miss the Wise Madness view of the world. My Health: On Friday I had […]
I’m on a run of great music, last night it was Aoife O’Donovan, Bruce Springsteen, and Hawktail. That Springsteen guy wasn’t there but he must be fairly good as Aoife did a cover version of his album Nebraska. The songwriting was good. I think he might have a future. It’s so nice of Aoife to […]
I teased what happened yesterday on Facebook. Now to tell you the bloody details. I came home from school to have a quick turnaround until the Knick game. When I got home I realized that I forgot to freeze the bagels I had bought the day before. Needless to say, they were very hard. That […]
Saturday Night I saw The Whiskey Charmers at Rockwood Music Hall. This was my first time seeing them since the pandemic started. Needless to say, I was excited. Not only are they one of my favorite bands, but Carrie and Lawrence are friends. It’s always better when the musical appreciation comes before the personal, then […]
Today I’m finally going to finish writing about seeing Kittel & Co. and Maeve Gilchrist on Saturday night; yes, ancient history. We’ll start with a recap, sorry there’s no “skip recap” option. On Saturday Dan and I went to see Alkemie on the upper East side. That ended around 4:30. The next stop on our […]
Yay! I’m writing two days in a row. Let’s see if I can go back to doing this every day. Blogging is part of my sense of self. What else are parts of my sense of self? I was going to say DJ but that’s part of my man about folk. I’m a radical empiricist. […]
Yesterday I had two adventures. The first was my once every eight week infusion. I got there early but was not taken early but on the other hand I wasn’t taken late. I must have angered the infusion chair placement gods; I had a manual chair in the corner in a crowded space and without […]
This week is off to a good start. Sunday night The Mets beat the Padres 8-5, breaking out of their scoring slump. They did this to make me look brilliant; Met manager Buck Showalter finally took my advice and started Guillorme over the totally hapless Escobar and inserted the newest Met, Vogelbach in as DH. […]
I’m 65 years old now you’d think I’ve have learned to get myself to blog every day, yet somehow, I have lost that ability I used to have. Is this an effect of aging? This need to be studied. Who should I apply to for the research grant? Let’s go back to the distant past, […]
