Wise Madness
Yesterday I had my first appointment with a primary care physician in longer than I can remember. I haven’t avoided it; I didn’t have insurance then COVID-19 hit and couldn’t find a recommended doctor who would accept a new patient. I finally gave up and let the Montefiore Hospital system, the system I go to […]
Now on to Sunday at The New Bedford Folk Festival. We started with breakfast at a Latin American café. As a good Jew I had the Cuban Sunrise Tortilla, slow-cooked pork shoulder, fried ham, fried egg, and Monterey Jack cheese and of course coffee. Life begins with the first cup of coffee. We got an […]
I spent the weekend at the New Bedford Folk Festival. Saturday started early; Mike picked me up at 6 AM. Sure I did that to work the election and when I volunteer at WFUV, but my body will always object. We talked about stopping at the Dunkin’ Donuts at my house so I didn’t even […]
Wednesday was a major milestone in the return to real life; in the afternoon I went to the Met game and in the evening saw Meg Braun at Rockwood Music Hall and went out to dinner afterward with the gang. That’s a lot of goodness for one day. I love day baseball; we need more […]
I never go to parties but I’m going to two parties this weekend. Who ordered that? Whenever I say “Who ordered that” I am quoting the physicist I.I. Rabi. That was his reaction when the muon was discovered. There was no place for it in the physics of the day. I used to see Rabi […]
Yesterday was a mental health day; I had appointments with both my psychiatrist and therapist. In the evening I had the best emotional therapy the Friday night Sunset Singing Circle with Terre Roche. I thought it was my last time seeing my therapist. I was wrong, it was the penultimate session. I wasted much of […]
It’s been a not leave the house sort of day. That’s not good; I should have forced myself to leave but I didn’t. It’s not the worst thing as it’s not like I do that every day. Sometimes a single day not moving and sleeping can be acceptable. I did get some things taken care […]
Last you heard from me I was tired and sore but planning on going out. Then it hit me. Why should I go out for pleasure when I’m tired and sore? Dan would understand, so I canceled. It is usually the right decision to go out, this time it wasn’t. Not only that but I […]
Yesterday was Friday, it’s May, that means you should have a reasonable guess where I was yesterday, the Sunset Singing Circle, led by the inimitable Terre Roche. Is that true? Is it impossible to imitate Terre? I suspect that Suzzy could do a reasonable job. How about the remarkable Terre Roche? That’s certainly true. I […]
I was up way too late last night, and then woke up four hours later and didn’t get right back to sleep so I’ll give myself a pass for not writing until 2:00 PM. Yesterday I had a wilderness adventure. It started with me going to get tested for COVID-19. John Platt’s On Your Radar […]
