Wise Madness
A friend commended me for maintaining this blog for over 20 years. I am unhappy as I am missing too many days. That being said I’ll tell a tale of my adventures. Having an extra day helps me to tie up a loose end. On Wednesday I helped my friend David move. We were joined […]
I should have written this morning, late is better than nothing but need brooks no delay? Can anyone identify where that quote is from? Part of how my brain works is that I have trouble remembering many things but others the path to some memories are so well-worn that I can access them instantly. I […]
Today’s edition of Wise Madness is not going to go the way I thought it would when I went to sleep. I had yesterday nicely planned. I woke up early, popped out of bed, blogged early, and was finished with breakfast before noon. For me that’s early. The CDC announced Emergency approval of a second […]
I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]
I’m sitting here making myself depressed. That’s not good. Let’s see if blogging gets me out of this funk. For that to work I have to not write about what’s causing the funk. Can I get my brain to switch gears? Read on to find out. I’m writing on to find out. Let’s root for […]
The pandemic has made blogging difficult. I don’t do anything. How many times can I talk about walking to the store? I was talking to a friend, and she said, “What else is happening?” My response is nothing. That gave us something to talk about; how frustrating it is to not do anything. As Omicron […]
Yesterday didn’t go as planned. I got a text from Alan asking if I wanted to go to the Knick game. I said yes. Last week I was nervous, but the COVID-19 rates are dropping fast. I was tested a few days ago and was negative so I’m not worried about infecting others. I am […]
Last Tuesday I attended John Platt’s On Your Radar. I’m closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation. None of the artists, John, or myself have turned up with symptoms. The artists are at the greatest risk as they are unmasked while performing. I would love it if we could have a follow-up from everyone who attended. As […]
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 […]
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 […]
