Wise Madness
I was in therapy for a long time, so I learned a few things. I’ve been involved in politics since I was 10, I handed out literature for Eugene McCarthy, so I learned a few things. I read blogs and listen to podcasts on politics and polling as well as reading the New York Times […]
It took an adventure to get me to write again. Last night I went to see the fabulous House of Hamill in Woodbridge New Jersey. Woodbridge is not close. I live in the Northern Bronx, Woodbridge is in New Jersey, on the other side of the Hudson, due west of the southern tip of Staten […]
I have not been writing because I have not been having adventures. That is not a good excuse. Days without adventures are days to write about thoughts. Those are supposed to be most important entries. It’s late, I don’t think I’m up to thoughts. I could write a potpourri, at least that’s the way I’ll […]
Sorry I missed blogging for a few days. I’m still working my way back into it. I have to get over an anxiety hump every time I start. Initiating action is perhaps my leading cause of anxiety. That’s been true most of my life. It’s true of things I hate to do and things I […]
It’s 8:03 PM on a day I had no plans and I’m just starting to blog. That’s not good. Now I have to squeeze it in before the Met game. Yesterday’s adventure was my first walk to Aldi in ages. I used to do this weekly. It’s 2.94 miles away. That’s not too impressive but […]
I’m trying something new, writing while watching the Democratic National Convention. I’m not sure why I’m watching, I dislike political speechifying. I like the way I put it yesterday, It’s pretty much the same thing as a high school pep rally. I don’t need help getting psyched for this election. I’m going to a virtual […]
The Mets were losing 7-1 so I turned it off and switched to the Democratic Convention. A few minutes there reminded me of what I always knew, political conventions are just high school pep rally with better guests. The silver lining to this cloud is that I now I have an opportunity and motive to […]
I have big news but still had trouble finding the wherewithal to write. After vegetating most of the day I made a concerted effort at self-care and now I can write. Let’s start with the big news. My writing funk started when my school told me to not expect to be rehired for the fall […]
I’m officially on spring break. After my wonderful Seder on Thursday and the Mets home opener on Friday I spent the weekend without leaving the apartment. Part of that was nice, part of that was a visit from my old friends, depression and anxiety. I was going to go to Aldi but found out that […]
I’ve had a busy 24 hours. I was supposed to go to the Mets home opener on Thursday and then directly to my Seder in Connecticut. The Mets postponed the game on Wednesday because of the possibility of bad weather. If you think that 75º and sunny is bad weather, then that forecast was accurate. […]
