A Dinner with a View

Yesterday was Friday so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle at Wagner Park. This made four weeks in a row and I still get a kick out of each one. I changed it up by leaving earlier and walking down from the Broadway Lafayette station. I was going to precede it with my donut […]

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 […]

Listen to Fauci Not Me

Today’s effort at writing in the morning fell victim to caffeine deficiency. I’m back in the afternoon topped off with two cups of coffee. It’s a beautiful day and I will get out of the house; the plan is to buy potatoes after the Donut Walk™. I’m listening to the Mets as I write this. […]

Put a Circle Around It

After going days without writing here is my second Gord’s Gold in 15 hours. This is another incredibly happy entry with surprise extra happiness as David Wax Museum joined by Alec Spiegelman just started a pop-up livestream and that’s my soundtrack while writing. For 20 years the most common element of Wise Madness has been […]

Blowin’ In The Wind

Welcome to a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’m doing it now because I have fallen so far behind, Tonight I’ll write about Friday and tomorrow about today. We’ll leave the rest of the time since I last wrote as a mystery as it clearly wasn’t […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I did not make my donut walk yesterday! This morning I’m tired, is that cause and effect? What spelling of doughnut do you prefer, the one that refers to the dough, or the one that I believe was made up by Dunkin’ Donuts, now DD? I prefer doughnoughts, zeroes made from dough. That isn’t where […]

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 […]

Vaxed and Stimulated

I got my COVID-19 relief money! I’m careful to not call it stimulus, that’s not its purpose. It’s to give people money to live on to help make up for losing earnings opportunity because of the pandemic. The other proper term would be rescue money. Everyone calls it stimulus, so it’s not wrong, but it […]

Forget the Dems and the Reps, I Want to Join the Chocolate Party

Today I’m going to write about the best thing in the world, Love? No. Health? No. Music? No. Family? Try again. Come on this is easy. That’s right, chocolate. Yesterday was Skyler and Shirley’s annual chocolate party. They appreciate chocolate; when they got married neither one of them wanted to change their last name so […]

A Shot in the Arm

I got my first dose of vaccine! It was the puhfizer. My appointment was for 9:45 which meant I could wake up my usual time, 8:00 but couldn’t relax as much as usual. I didn’t eat or make coffee. I was not able to arrange for a ride from Medicaid, so I walked. Taking a […]
