The Monday that Came on Thursday

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. […]

Movers and Shakers

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’m a Reactionary

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 […]

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 […]

Compliance Will Be Rewarded

I couldn’t get myself out of the house yesterday until my nighttime adventure. I had planned on walking to Aldi for some much-needed groceries but that didn’t happen. My evening plans started at 9 PM yet I never made dinner. I didn’t blog. Saturday was not a shining day for me. My adventure was going […]

In FLU encer

Yesterday’s adventure was getting my flu shot. The tough part for me was filling out the insurance info while making my reservation at CVS. I know I have Medicaid but filling out the info still gives me anxiety. CVS has all my information; I get my prescriptions there. I wish there was a check-off box […]

The Way My Brain Works or Doesn’t

Let’s see if I’m awake enough to write. I’m working the polls on Tuesday; that means being there from 5 AM to about 10 PM. I’m planning on waking up around 4:15, that is much closer to when I usually go to sleep. I decided to spend the weekend shifting my internal clock. Usually I […]

The Doctor that Wouldn’t Vax

Yesterday was a bad mental health day. It was due to a confluence of events the most important of which is isolation, I have not seen a friend in almost two weeks. Talking to my psychiatrist did more harm than good. I like my psychiatrist, but I found out that he not vaccinated and doesn’t […]

I Hate Fighting with Friends

Let’s try a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I should be on my way home from Rockwood Music Hall now but the show I planned on going to was canceled because a band member got COVID-19. I had an interview for a teaching job yesterday. It went well and I have a video interview […]

Boost Me Up

I can’t believe this entire day slipped away from me. It’s 9 PM and I’ve hardly done anything, I haven’t even blogged. I have a readymade excuse, but I’m not using it as that would be a lie. I must be honest with My Gentle Readers. So, let’s move back to yesterday and my excuse […]
