I always seem to start by apologizing for not writing. The problem is that the more time I have to write the less I have to write about. I just came up with two thoughts; I can write about music I don’t hear live, and I can write about current events. Writing about my personal […]

Solstice Celebration
Sadly, I did not carol on the winter solstice. Happily, I still got together with Katherine. We met at the Union Square holiday market. I’m such a sucker for those; I don’t know why but I enjoy them. Part of it is that the people that run the shops are interesting, they live nomadic live […]
The days of no effort COVID-19 testing are no more. Till now I just stopped by the booth by Krispy Kreme or Aldi and spent perhaps five minutes getting tested. Now as Jimmy Durante said, “Everybody wants to get into the act.” When I got to my place on Fordham Plaza it took 52 minutes […]
Dateline Arthouse Hotel: Lena is visiting New York, has an extra bed in her room, so I’m crashing here rather than commuting back to the Bronx. What have we been doing? Music and food; in other words what I always do and write about. Well sometimes it’s food and music. On Monday night we attempted […]
I can’t wait to blog tomorrow as I have my infusion in the morning, so I’ll put out a rare late evening edition of Wise Madness. There was a time when that was the norm, and this would be considered early. I’d get home at 1AM and then blog. I should get back to some […]
Yesterday’s adventure was walking to and from Aldi. That’s not that exciting but I did walk 4.42 miles and burned 480 calories. The hill coming home with all my groceries is the killer. It’s 157 feet high. What’s my idiot story? I know I had an idiot story. I guess that my idiot story is […]
Yesterday’s adventure was traveling north to see the Richard Thompson at Tarrytown Music Hall. I could not afford the tickets but out of the blue my friend Connie bought me one because she knows that he is tied with Rhiannon Giddens as my favorite of favorites. Now that I’m carless it’s a pain to get […]
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 […]
I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]
I’m writing in the morning like I’m supposed to! How did that happen? especially on a day my alarm didn’t go off. Yesterday’s adventure was escorting my friends home from their cataract surgery. I like the way the hospital, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, works with escorts. The patients give the […]
